We announced world leaders to children. Caroline Schumacher, CEO of Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, will become president and CEO of the Kissimmee-based nonprofit in June.
Schumacher previously gave children the world over 20 years with leadership in volunteer service, guest service and operations.
“I feel like Give Kids The World is heading towards the world, celebrating Henri Landwirth’s vision in a new way, and a cause that has always come close to my heart,” Schumacher said in a news release Tuesday.
The hotel owner and philanthropist, Landwirth helped his children find both the world and Orlando-based Astronaut Scholarship Foundation. He passed away in 2018.
Shuamcher will take over the children who will give him the global leadership of Pamela Landvath, the ex-wife of Henri Landvath, who left the organization in January 30 years later.
“Caroline brings a deep personal connection to a proven record of mission and innovative leadership to give children the world,” said John Nichols, chairman of the organization’s board of directors.
Kive Kids the World Village is an 89-acre resort that hosts critically ill children and their families for free. It has been in operation since 1986. We serve over 200,000 families.
