100470 - McDonald’s - UNESCO Millennium Dreamers Banner - Miscellaneous Non-Disney

Pin Description:

This pin was awarded to the 2000 student delegates who were invited to a special event, where some were honored with the Millennium Dreamers Award. Taking place in 2000, it was a collaborative initiative between The Walt Disney Co. and McDonald's, in partnership with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

This recognition program for children around the world highlighted the remarkable community achievements of young individuals aged 8 to 15. Each of the 2000 Millennium Dreamers were granted an all-expense-paid trip to Walt Disney World for a children's summit hosted from May 8-10, 2000. At the summit, the delegates engaged in an interactive discussion and a ceremony where the Millennium Dreamers were celebrated for their exceptional achievements.

The pin is designed like a white banner with folded ribbons at the end. The phrase "Millennium Dreamers" is written across front, with the "M" as the iconic golden arches of McDonald's and the "D" in the recognizable first letter of the stylized version of Walt Disney's signature. There is a thin red curvy line under the text, and several gold stars are scattered across the banner.

Measuring 2 inches (52 mm) in width and .5 inch (12 mm) in height (mini jumbo size), the pin features a double-post back but lacks copyright markings on the reverse side despite being officially licensed. It has a satin gold finish on the back.
