Kevin Bacon looses Ice Cream Challenge at Give Kids The World!
Actor Kevin Bacon visited Give Kids The World Village, a nonprofit resort for children with life-threatening illnesses, to launch the organization’s Ice Cream Challenge (#GKTWChallenge).
Bacon squared off against one of the resort’s young guests to see who could eat the most ice cream in six seconds. The loser had to donate $6 to Give Kids The World Village, a 74-acre resort where children with serious illnesses and their families are treated to dream vacations at no cost. Bacon, star of Footloose and the The Following, lost the challenge and made his donation on the spot.
Bacon is founder of SixDegrees.org, which encourages celebrities to use their fame to benefit worthy causes, such as Give Kids The World Village.
He visited the Village to highlight the fact that everyone is connected by six degrees or less to a child with a life-threatening illness. Give Kids The World Village is located near Orlando and hosts more than 7,400 families a year. The weeklong vacations are free to guests and include complimentary passes to the area’s theme parks and other attractions.
The Ice Cream Challenge (#GKTWChallenge) is a social media and fundraising campaign the organization hopes will raise contributions for, and awareness of, the work it does.
Now, it’s your turn to help the Village and the amazing kids it serves. Challenge your friends and family to the #GKTWChallenge. To get involved, go to www.gktw.org/bacon.
