The donation was generated by the proceeds of last October's Funai Classic at Walt Disney World Resort. The event is sponsored by Funai Electric Co., a consumer electronics maker in Japan.

Disney targeted its donation to 10 United Way member agencies that provide health and human services to local children.

The 10 agencies to receive funds are:

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Florida
Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Florida
Central Florida Police Athletic League
Central Florida YMCA
Edgewood Children's Ranch
Girl Scouts of Citrus Council
Orlando Day Nursery Association
Quest Kids
Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida
Welbourne Avenue Nursery and Kindergarten
Examples of services to be provided with the funds include youth mentoring, after-school programs, services from troubled youth, children's food programs and child care.

It's a nice thing to do. When I was on my first CP, I had money taken out of my paycheck every week...but on the second CP, I had a lump taken out of my check at one time.

Glad to see the money went somewhere!

Thats nice of 'em....you would think though, that a huge corporation like Disney could muster up something more than $100,000 for good causes...but hey, something is something...

Yes, I know...but I guess what I was trying to say was, Disney could've added more $$ to the pot...

It is better than nothing, and also better than what most companies would do....it is nice to see companies take a responsible role in their communities. The company I work for raised and donated around $115K'ish to CMN this year...it is nice to work for a company with a heart.
