If you’ve been anywhere near social media the past few weeks you may have noticed many of your friends uploading pictures of themselves wearing a pair of the iconic Mickey Mouse ears from Disney World and captioning them with the “Share Your Ears” hashtag.
From January 29 to March 14th, Disney will donate five dollars to Make-A-Wish (up to $1,000,000), for every photo of the ears shared online with the caption ‘#shareyourears.’
Disney has had a long time partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. In fact, the very first wish was granted in one of the Disney parks nearly 35 years ago. Together the pair have granted more than 100,000 wishes to children with life threatening illnesses.
Why share your ears? I can think of many reasons, but, honestly, Disney said it best, “A wish-come-true brings to life excitement and wild imagination, which is exactly the life-changing experience a seriously ill child and their family need to help them feel better – and sometimes, even get better. It’s only possible because of people just like you.”
Also, if you share your ears, you can enter to win these blinged out ears:
So, friends, if you have any of the old iconic ears laying around as reminiscent reminders of the magical time you had at one of the parks, pick ‘em up and snap a picture so more children can forget about the battles they are facing and experience a day in the wonderful world of Disney.
