Wilson student wins trip to Disney World
Wilson student wins trip to Disney World
Last school year, Trevor Frank, Wilson Elementary School first-grader, participated with fellow Wilson students in the school’s annual American Heart Association (AHA) Hoops for Heart program.
AHA conducts two programs for schools — Hoops for Heart and Jump Rope for Heart. Both programs raise funds for the AHA as well as raise awareness about heart diseases and strokes.
Students are awarded prizes based on the amount of money they raise. All participants who raise more than $150 are automatically entered into a national drawing for one of 12 trips to Disney World in Orlando. Frank raised $160 for the AHA through the Hoops for Heart program.
The Frank family was notified in July that Trevor had won a four-day/three-night vacation package for a family of four to Walt Disney World. The trip includes airfare, ground transportation, lodging at one of the Disney Resorts and daily passes to the theme parks.
“At first, we were totally shocked and thought it was a scam,” said Todd Frank, Trevor’s dad. “When the Hoops for Heart regional coordinator and travel agent called to inform us of the dates, we knew it was legitimate. Trevor enjoys helping others and is more apt to give than receive.”
The Frank family will be taking their trip to Disney World in February, when Trevor will celebrate his eighth birthday.
