The Make-A-Wish Foundation received our donation on November 24, 2006 and had the following to say; "With your help we are able to create amazing wish experiences filled with hope, strength, and joy for children with life-threatening medical conditions. The wish experience has had an incredible impact on the special children we serve, and everyone touched by the wish. Thank you for helping us share the power of a wish. Our wish children are very fortunate to have such committed donors and champions on their side."

Thanks again to everyone who participated in the raffle and congratulations to the winners!
