Fantasy RV Tours (FRVT), a leading provider of guided RV travel experiences, has raised a record-breaking $200,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation during its 2026 Homecoming Rally. This significant donation doubles the total raised by FRVT in previous years, further solidifying its commitment to supporting charitable causes. The rally, held at the Coastal Georgia RV Resort in Brunswick, Georgia, brought together guests from across the country for a week of connection and celebration.
The Homecoming Rally is an annual event that has become a staple of FRVT's calendar. This year's iteration featured a range of activities, including a trolley tour of historic Jekyll Island, a dolphin and marine life cruise, and daily travelogue seminars. However, the true highlight of the week was the live charity auction, where wrapped 'mystery boxes' sparked spirited bidding and laughter among attendees.
The two-hour charity auction saw guests contribute $100,000, with FRVT's founder and CEO Nel Filliger matching those donations to bring the total to $200,000. This significant sum will directly support Make-A-Wish Georgia in granting wishes for children with critical illnesses, making at least 20 wishes come true.
FRVT's commitment to philanthropy is deeply personal for its founder, who has been inspired by her own experiences with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Nel Filliger's grandson, Dylan Prunty, passed away after battling a rare genetic disease, and his wish to visit Legoland was granted through the organization.

The generosity of Fantasy RV Tours and its founder Nel Filliger is a testament to the power of community-driven fundraising.
