Hidden Helpers Summit

We can’t wait to welcome you to our third annual Hidden Helpers Summit at the most magical place on earth—Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida!  

Hosted by the Elizabeth Dole Foundation and made possible by the generous support of Wounded Warrior Project, Lockheed Martin, and Humana Military, this year’s Summit will bring together caregiving families, coalition partners, and national leaders to elevate the voices of hidden helpers and advance support for military and veteran children in caregiving homes.

The Summit kicks off on August 6 with an exciting welcome reception at the Living Seas Salon in Epcot. On August 7, we’ll dive into the full day Hidden Helpers Summit, featuring stories and insights from caregiving children and teens, dynamic keynote speakers, the exciting launch of our Hidden Helpers Journey Map, and an afternoon of interactive breakout sessions for all ages and attendees.

Planning Your Trip:

While the Elizabeth Dole Foundation does not cover lodging or park tickets, we have secured:  

• A preferred hotel rate at the conference hotel: Disney’s Coronado Springs.
• Access to discounted Disney Park tickets.  

We kindly ask attendees to book within the designated hotel block to help us meet our room commitment. Reservations can be made by calling the Disney Group Reservations Phone Team at (407) 939-4686 or by using the online booking site.

We're excited to see you there!
