When a U.S. Military service member or First Responder, including Law Enforcement, Fire, and EMS, gives the ultimate sacrifice, the family left behind loses more than a loved one. The Magic Memories Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3), steps in to give these families a way forward. We provide immersive travel experiences that lift surviving families out of daily grief, giving parents and children time together to heal, reconnect, and simply be a family again.
12,000+ Military Children
The number of children who have lost a parent serving in the U.S. Armed Forces over the last 10 years due to combat and training accidents. Behind each one is a family navigating that loss.
5,200+ First Responder Children
The number of children left behind by our fallen Police, Fire, and EMS heroes since 2016. Behind every line-of-duty death, an average of two children and a surviving spouse are left to move forward.
$300 Million Gap
The estimated national shortfall in support for these survivors. Your tax-deductible gift helps give these families moments of joy so they are never just a statistic.
4–5 New Survivors Daily
An average of five children lose a hero parent every single day, and a family loses its foundation. We step in so these families can find their footing and share moments of joy again.
Serving All 50 States
Grief knows no boundaries, and neither does our mission. We monitor line-of-duty deaths nationwide so that families everywhere have the chance to step away from grief and share moments of joy together.

To ensure that families who lose a parent in military or first responder service are not only remembered but lifted. We honor that sacrifice by giving them experiences that bring light back into hard days.

When a military or first responder parent gives the ultimate sacrifice, the family left behind faces the hardest days of their lives. Magic Memories Foundation was built for them. We take surviving families on destination trips where, for a while, the weight lifts and they can just be together.

Moments of Magic are immersive destination experiences for surviving families. For a few days, parents and children step away from the weight of loss and share something joyful together.
