About Magic Memories Foundation

Our Mission

To reignite imagination, restore hope, and foster lasting connections for children whose lives have been forever altered by the loss of a parent in military or first responder service, our nonprofit organization offers child grief support through immersive experiences for children. These destination experiences lift them out of their daily grief and create shared moments that connect them with peers who have faced similar losses.

Why We Exist

When a child loses a parent in the line of duty, the world shifts. Joy can feel distant, and childhood is interrupted. Far too often, these children experience profound grief and feel alone in their sorrow. This is where the Magic Memories Foundation steps in, a nonprofit organization dedicated to child grief support. We aim to bring light back into their lives—not through therapy or speeches, but through immersive experiences for children filled with laughter, adventure, and shared understanding. We believe that one joyful moment can begin the healing of a broken heart. Our unique experiences help children rediscover hope and connect with others who truly understand their loss, providing essential military family support during their difficult times.

How It Works

Each child begins with a personalized immersive experience — a joyful escape designed just for them, especially tailored for families seeking child grief support. But that’s only the beginning. After their first trip, they become part of our growing community of children across the country, where they can engage in immersive experiences for children that promote healing and connection. They are invited to return each year for Moments of Magic Together — our annual event that fosters friendship and support, particularly for military families, as part of our nonprofit organization dedicated to making a difference.

501(c)3 STATUS

Magic Memories Foundation is currently in the process of applying for recognition as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization by the Internal Revenue Service. This nonprofit organization aims to provide child grief support and create immersive experiences for children. Until we receive official IRS approval, donations made through this site are NOT tax-deductible. We encourage you to consult with your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of your contribution, especially if you are part of a military family seeking support.

FROM OUR FOUNDER

Our Vision

After retiring from military service and enjoying life with my own children, I couldn’t stop thinking about the ones who weren’t so lucky — the children left behind after their parent didn’t make it home. 


I kept asking myself, Who helps them smile again? Who reminds them they’re not alone? This led me to start the Magic Memories Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing child grief support — to give those children a break from grief and a chance to rediscover joy, connection, and hope. 


Our mission is simple but powerful: to create immersive experiences for children that lift the weight of loss, even just for a little while. Through these experiences and long-term connections with new friends who share the same loss, we help them rediscover what it means to be a kid. 


We start with one child. One memory. One spark of hope. And from there, we build something Magical.

LET’S MAKE A DIFFERENCE TOGETHER
