Caroline Cradick Announces New Role with Kidd’s Kids as Executive Director

Kidd's Kids is about to change in a big way. You could say, an emotional mascara alert kind of way. It's really the perfect new chapter to this storied charity founded by the late Kidd Kraddick.

If you've been waking up with B101.7's Kidd Kraddick Morning Show as a loyal fan for years or just started listening recently, you may have heard about Kidd's Kids. Maybe, you don't know the full story. The Kidd's Kids website shares where it all started and what it means:

The first Kidd’s Kids trip was to Sea World in San Antonio and benefited five families. Due to the generosity of Kidd’s listeners and corporate donations, we now take over 50 families to Walt Disney World in Florida each year. Many of the children selected for the trip have “fallen through the cracks” of other organizations that grant wishes or provide trips. During this five-day trip, which takes place every November, these kids and their families enjoy all the excitement that a Walt Disney World / Kidd’s Kids vacation can offer. For many families with terminally ill or physically challenged children, this is a very rare opportunity to leave behind hospital and treatment centers to share laughter and fun in a magical environment.

One of the greatest concerns after Kidd's untimely passing, would the show and this charity live on? The question to both is YES! One person who stepped up more than ever is Kidd's daughter, Caroline. She was able to experience the joy of this trip when she was just a child. Below, is a photo she posted on Facebook as a 5 year-old princess with her dad, Kidd Kraddick.

Join in me saying, congrats Caroline we know you'll make your dad very proud!!
