Bert’s Big Adventure is incredibly proud of the commitment to community built among our giant family of families since our organization’s inception in 2002. Our founder, Bert Weiss, likes to say that each year, the magical, all-expenses-paid, five-day journey to Walt Disney World is the unofficial initiation into our precious community. Once you’re in, you’re in forever!
This year, several of our amazing Bert’s Big Adventure kiddos and siblings graduated and deserve to be recognized.
