KISSIMMEE, Fla., April 8, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Give Kids The World Village's (GKTW) annual Black & White Gala will feature gourmet food, world-class entertainment and best of all, the chance for attendees to help children with life-threatening illnesses. Scheduled for Saturday, May 9 at the Hyatt Regency Orlando, the event has become one of Central Florida's most popular social events on the calendar, directly helping make more than 7,400 wishes come true every year.
