Wednesday February 16, 2000 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER A7 S p e c ia l c h ild r e n Vinnie Di Rollo ju st w ants to see smiles light up the faces o f the 100 or so terminally ill and m entally and physi cally challenged O akville children, after they learn th e y 're being sent to D isneyworld for the day. "You can 't im agine w hat it's like to see their faces w hen they take off...it's incredible," the m other o f two enthused, explaining she has been involved in the D ream -A -Thon for the past few years. Di R ollo's six-year-old son, Christian, is term inally ill. His brother, Gabriel, is nine years old. O n Sat. M arch 4th, the Oakville Field H ockey Club is running a 12-hour indoor field hockey m atch to raise m oney to m ake the dream com e true - to send as m any Oakville youngsters who m ay n ever get the chance to see D isneyw orld to go to Florida for the w ill s e e D is n e y la n d th a n k s to V in n ie DIANE HART day. Both she and club president John Picone, an Oakville high school teacher, adm it they've been overwhelmed by the response o f the com munity to date. The O akville Field Hockey Dreama-Thon will take place at St. Thomas A quinas High School. But they need more help and are asking anyone inter ested in donating either their time or items for their silent auction to call. T he silent auction will be held throughout the field hockey match, slat ed to run from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Di Rollo, a diminutive ball o f energy, says she's not going to stop until she gets the plane filled for the day. She says people scoff at her ambitious plans to raise $50,000 for the day but she's determined. Last year, the club raised a fraction o f that - $5,200. `T h ey think it's crazy, but I think we can do it if we get more people involved in this," she says, adding anyone she talks to is more than helpful. They sim ply need to get the word out. Air Canada donates the plane, the pilots and flight attendants donate their time. H owever there are still other costs, including in-flight medical personnel. Although Di Rollo's son Christian has been asked to go along, she says she'll have some other child take his place as he w ouldn't get as much out o f the experience as another child would. "It's so important to these children and not many people realize they are out there in Oakville," she says. "I want as many o f them as possible to go." Picone says anyone he has asked has been more than generous. But he's hop ing to generate interest in the day to attract as many people as possible to bid on the silent auction items and raise the necessary funds. He noted a num ber o f large and small businesses have offered to donate their tim e or money, from Invidiata Homes (sponsor o f the purple Dream-aThon T-shirts and socks) to Golden Griddle who offered to cook up a pan cake breakfast for donations. R om eo's Pizza, Pasta and Submarines in Bronte and other businesses have offered to donate food and drinks. T he m ayor is expected to m ake an appearance. And while the w ord continues to spread about the D ream -A -Thon m ore people are calling to get involved. A sked if she's going to take a break before the day, Di Rollo ju st gurgles with laughter. Eyes sparkling, the ener getic m other says she's not going to stop until she's raised the funds needed to get the kids onto the plane for the day. But as much as she w ants to see the faces o f the kids light up with joy, she's not going to go along. She smiles a watery smile: "I think I 'd break dow n." A nyone interested in helping out is asked to call Vinnie at 847-1843; John at 827-4850.
