All Aboard the Snowball Express!
Last week, PSA team members across the organization came together to create unforgettable memories for families boarding the Gary Sinise Foundation Snowball Express to Disneyworld! Volunteers at our bases packed bags for families participating in this special event and joined the send-off celebrations for these families journeying to their first stop in Charlotte.

Every December, Snowball Express brings together the surviving spouses and children of fallen soldiers for a five-day experience of fun, friendship, and healing, with other families like them. This year’s chartered flight from Charlotte took more than 120 “Gold-Star” family members to Orlando, Florida to Disneyworld.
