Maclan
Maclan Corporation is a Central Florida family owned business with a long tradition in making wheels for the amusement industry. Being blessed in business for over 37 years, Maclan has been looking for ways to give back to the community. Thus, the P.A.L. program was born. P.A.L. stands for Providing Amusement and Laughter. Through the P.A.L. program, donations will be made to a charity on behalf of Maclan's customers. When Maclan learned about Give Kids the World they decided this was a perfect charity to align with the P.A.L. program. Give Kids the World is a charity that provides for children with life-threatening diseases and their families to enjoy a week long, cost free, fantasy vacation at their storybook-themed village. With all the stress they have in their lives, a week of stress free fun can make a world of a difference! Within the village there are 141 villas and multiple attractions. Attractions include the Gingerbread House Restaurant, the Castle of Miracles, an Enchanted Carousel, Ice Cream Palace and much more. The Village provides accommodations and donated tickets to nearby attractions. The children are given special access badges that allow them to avoid the long lines. Families are also provided with a complimentary rental car during their stay. There is no charge to the children or their families for rooms, food, ice cream, treats, transportation, activities, or anything else on site. Maclan made its first donation in December. In February, the company will be giving more than money; they will be donating time, material and services in refurbishing the wheels to the JJ Express train. Maclan is proud to announce its P.A.L. Program and excited to continue helping this worthy cause.
