The non-profit organization, Give Kids The World Village, has unveiled an enchanting new addition to its magical 79-acre resort designed for families facing life-threatening illnesses. The Twinkle Hope Rockin’ Spa is a delightful haven where children can indulge in playful makeovers while their parents unwind and recharge.
This charming spa, which opened its doors this month, is already spreading happiness among the visiting families. According to the organization’s president, Mark Thompson, “We are thrilled to bring this unique experience to our guests. Our wish kids can transform into their wildest dreams at the spa, while their families maintain their fitness routine. We owe a huge thanks to Hasbro for making this incredible amenity possible.”
The Twinkle Hope Rockin’ Spa, named after a beloved My Little Pony character, was made possible through a generous $150,000 donation from Hasbro, Inc. This funding not only allowed for the renovation of the spa but also facilitated the addition of the G.I. Joe Gym, a fitness center where parents can stay active while their children enjoy the spa’s offerings.
Children can choose from a variety of fun services, including airbrush tattoos, face painting, hand massages, manicures, and even a “crazy hair” station where volunteers help them adorn their hair with vibrant sprays, chalks, flowers, and tiaras. Previously limited in scope, these delightful services are now available to every child visiting the village, complete with a dedicated selfie booth for capturing those special moments.
Karen Smith, Vice President of Global Philanthropy & Social Impact at Hasbro, remarked, “What makes Give Kids The World truly remarkable is their commitment to including the entire family in their experience.” This commitment is vital; when caring for a child with a serious illness, parents often set aside their own needs. The opportunity to relax while their child enjoys a fun-filled day is invaluable.
For families navigating the challenges of illness, this kind of joy and reprieve is not just welcome—it’s deserved.

With a focus on inclusivity and fun, it allows children to embrace their imaginations while offering parents a chance to rejuvenate.
