We at the Make A Wish Foundation of Guam and CNMI are truly touched by the generosity and effort demonstrated by all the kids and their families and friends throughout the planning and execution of this fundraiser. We have never been able to address wishes alone, and we are sincerely grateful for the support. The pure love and kindness shown towards wish children and their families in the Marianas by all the Kid helpers and volunteers inspire us all to continue helping our community. Thank you for believing in the power of a wish.
