Delivering Gifts All Year Long
In December 2014, Mark Kaye, from Mark Kaye Saves the Republic podcast and live stream, and his wife, Pam, partnered with Dreams Come True to create the Special Times initiative, Kaye’s Kids. Through this program, together with Mark and Pam, we deliver “dream gifts” to some of our precious Dreamers. Through these special gifts, we bring hope, joy, and entertainment to local children battling to overcome complex medical journeys.
More than 180 children in Northeast Florida have received a dream gift through Kaye’s Kids. Gifts can range from electronics to playsets, experiences, and even a snow cone machine or surfboard.
In addition to providing special gifts for “Christmas in July” and for the “12 Days of Christmas,” Kaye’s Kids also provides support for families in various ways, from transplant party decorations and treats to food and gas gift cards, holiday toys, meals, and dream sponsorships.
Proceeds for Kaye’s Kids are raised through general donations and the Annual Ho Ho Hold ‘Em Charity Poker Tournament at Bestbet off of Monument Road. The 2024 tournament helped raise over $27,000 for Kaye’s Kids and Dreams Come True. Check back in early 2025 for our 2025 Ho Ho Hold ‘Em Tournament Date.
Kaye’s Kids would not be possible without the support of our local community. Help us continue delivering special gifts to local children and families. Please donate today! Donations welcomed all-year long, and will go 100% toward Kaye’s Kids.
