Established in 2002, Bert’s Big Adventure is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by media personality Bert Weiss. Following his historic 25-year career as a leading morning radio show host, Bert’s enduring vision remains the heartbeat of the organization: fostering a lifelong community of compassion and belonging for children with chronic and terminal illnesses and their families.

This community building begins with a magical, all-expenses-paid five-day journey to Walt Disney World®. Beyond the initial trip, Bert’s Big Adventure provides year-round support for the child’s lifetime and beyond through initiatives such as Family Reunion Adventures—exclusive events that strengthen lifelong connections among families—and the Fairy Godparent Volunteer Program, which provides daily visitors, warm meals, and activities to families during hospital stays. Additionally, in the heartbreaking event that a child passes away, the organization steps in to fully cover the expenses of end-of-life services.

To date, the organization has served nearly 300 families, ensuring that no family journeys alone. Learn more here on the website and follow the magic on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Threads, X, and TikTok.
