Let’s give a round of applause to our graduating superstars! Bert’s Big Adventure is bursting with pride as we celebrate the accomplishments of these extraordinary kiddos and their siblings. Since our organization’s inception in 2002, we’ve built a strong and loving community. 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 part of the Bert’s Big Adventure family, you’re part of it forever!
