Celebrating Over a Decade of Magic: Merlin’s Magic Wand Makes a Difference for Youth in Foster Care

Celebrating Over a Decade of Magic:
Merlin’s Magic Wand Makes a Difference for Youth in Foster Care

As 2024 draws to a close, it’s a perfect time to reflect on the incredible impact dedicated partnerships can have on our communities most vulnerable. Among exemplary collaborations, the relationship between Merlin’s Magic Wand and Voices for Children stands out. For over 12 years, Merlin’s Magic Wand—a prominent global children’s charity—has steadfastly supported Voices for Children, transforming the lives of youth in foster care through their generosity.

The Magical Days Out program is at the heart of this partnership, where Merlin’s Magic Wand provides tickets and parking passes to LEGOLAND. This initiative allows children in foster care, their Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs), families, and caregivers to experience a delightful day of adventure and joy. In a world where these children often face significant challenges, the chance to be kids in a fun, carefree environment is a treasured gift.

A Day to Just Be Kids
Every year, Merlin’s Magic Wand touches the lives of countless children in foster care who face adversity in San Diego County. The Magical Days Out program goes beyond merely offering a ticket; it provides happiness and unforgettable memories. For many of the children Voices for Children serves, a visit to LEGOLAND signifies more than just a day out; it is a much-needed break from their daily challenges.

Merlin’s Magic Wand’s sustained commitment to Voices for Children exemplifies the profound impact corporate partnerships can have on our community’s children. More than 40% of children desire to visit a theme park. Understanding this need, Merlin’s Magic Wand has made it their mission to fulfill such wishes, shining a light in the lives of those who need it most. As we celebrate this remarkable collaboration, we extend a heartfelt thank you to Merlin’s Magic Wand. Your unwavering support and shared vision for creating joyful moments for children in foster care and their CASAs is invaluable. Through your kindness, countless children have been granted an escape from their daily struggles and the chance to forge joyful memories.
