Through generous support of the Ford Motor Company, the Variety Sunshine Coach Program was born nearly 40 years ago and currently has over 8,250 coaches on the road worldwide as a means to literally bring the “shut-in child” out into the sunshine. This wonderful program has transported at least 55 million special-needs children to treatment, therapy, education, and the larger world.
Sunshine Coach Sponsors take pride in knowing that their contributions assist countless children in need in their own community. At the same time, they know that the vans are like rolling billboards, giving valuable exposure to each sponsor’s name as they make their daily rounds transporting children.

Aldine Y.O.U.T.H.,
Avondale House (2 vans - 1999 recipient),

Variety International is credited with placing more than 4,000 specially equipped vehicles on the road in 70 countries, to meet the transportation requirements of organizations that support disabled and disadvantaged children. Variety Sunshine Coaches have covered sufficient mileage to circle the globe more than 7,000 times, so if you happen to see a Sunshine Coach anywhere in the world, we hope you will share our sense of satisfaction at this program’s success.
