Mongello manages a charitable group named the Dream Team Project. The Dream Team Project is designed for the purpose of raising money to allow children with serious illnesses to visit Walt Disney World. Portions of the proceeds from the sale of all merchandise sold on the WDW Radio website, as well as personal donations made by Mongello from sales of the Walt Disney World Trivia Books, donations from WDW Radio listeners and friends, and the proceeds of fundraising events run by The Dream Team Project are used to help provide children with visits to Walt Disney World. As of April 2014 the Dream Team Project had raised over $250,000.
