Every day is a struggle for children diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. For them, it is usually more difficult to experience the joy that should be part of their daily life. Therefore, the objective of BEYOND THE MOON is to give some days filled with laughter and joyful experiences to as many of these children as possible, together with their families. Our MOON brightens up the dark and painful days of those children and will shine forever. For more info, visit our website www.beyondthemoon.org In spite of its international outreach, BEYOND THE MOON can perfectly act as a local charity in every community or country, and thus make everyone’s support very tangible. Collected funds are used to offer these children and their families an all-in carefree vacation to a child-friendly destination, far away from the hospitals and the daily treatments. A sponsor can personally refer a sick child that he/she knows from his/her community or BEYOND THE MOON can nominate a sick child and family on behalf of the sponsor. That makes the sponsors support very tangible, transparent and gratifying. How our partnership got started Our cooperation with PREM Group started in November 2005 with a pledge of €4,000 on behalf of the staff at the corporate office, to offer the family Mantle (the first Irish family!) a holiday of a lifetime at Disneyland ® Resort Paris. The staff decided to forfeit their annual Christmas party funding and instead donated it to BEYOND THE MOON. Soon thereafter, the hotels in Ireland and the United Kingdom partnered with our association and embraced our mission through our “Change for Children” programme. Next, as a result of the business expansion to Europe, also hotels in Belgium and the Premier Apartments in Ireland and the United Kingdom joined the BEYOND THE MOON family and displayed a “Change for Children” collection box a the reception with donation envelopes in each bedroom. PREM Group have, to date, sent 4 families on a BEYOND THE MOON vacation experience and we have raised sufficient funds for two more families to be nominated shortly. The following newsletter details some of the fundraising activities carried out by the PREM Group team as well as testimonials from some of the families.
