DUBOIS, CLEARFIELD COUNTY - Sunny 106. 5 has teamed up with Make A Wish for the 19th annual Light up a Child's Life Campaign. Each year local schools, businesses and individuals raise funds to be donated during the campaign.
By the end of the day Wednesday over $33,000 was raised. This means, 8 Make a Wish children will have their wish granted.
Throughout the week previous Make A Wish kids shared their stories. Josh, said he wanted to go to Disney World to see Winnie the Pooh. He had "fun" and now, wants to help other kids wishes come true by asking you to donate. His catch phrase "howdy" can be heard again Friday morning.
Make A Wish says the granting of a wish can be even more powerful than medical technology and they want to say THANK YOU to the communty for helping the organization create magic and miracles.
