Fantasy Flight
Thank you to everyone that helped make the Fantasy Flight an incredible experience! With Santa and his helpers, the galactic legends of Star Wars, and the help of many more loveable heroes, the North Pole was a special place for children to feel loved and celebrated. Please join us next year for our Fantasy Flight!
Welcome to The Shadow Buddies Foundation
We work to spread Miles of Smiles to children across the world!

Since 1995, The Shadow Buddies Foundation has been bringing smiles, hope and companionship to medically challenged children across the country and around the world in the form of cuddly, plush Buddies.
Our Shadow Buddies are a representation that your child, regardless of any illness they may have, is never alone, that they can proudly proclaim they have a friend “just like me.”
Help the Shadow Buddies Foundation spread love and education to these special children and their families; you can donate your time, money and even Buddies, themselves, to make a difference in the life of a child.
