i wanted to go to this year meet, but had some school work to get done, maybe next year will be able to attend

make-a-wish is an excellent foundation, i want to say thanks to those who contributed to them this year. you have no clue what this means to some kids......

take erik for instance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FCIskbu-OM

his wish was to be a superhero like spiderman, his name is electron boy. make-a-wish provided his wish.

basically Dr. Dark and blackout boy was going throughout seattle and taking away light from people and the only person could save the people suffering in the darkness was electron boy, he got to ride in a DMC and got a police escort with police bikes and suvs travelining throughout seattle(they even blocked one of the main highways for the escort) to save the suffering people

so i just wanted to share this

Ryan and I were happy to be a proud sponsor for the sonic meet and are glad that it went to a good cause

Foolinaround · 05-06-2010, 01:56 AM

I almost cried just thinking over the whole idea,the gravity of it is insane.

nissamax · 05-06-2010, 02:16 AM

angdefeo · 05-06-2010, 08:10 AM

check out the make-a-wish foudnation website. there are alot stories there. in case you care enough to help make more wishes happen they also accept things such as airline mileage not just cash.

That's pretty cool. I used to go to the make a wish foundation events when the Ferrari guys hosted it. We would give rides to the kids in exotics around town.

nissamax · 05-07-2010, 09:15 AM

So does anyone know how much money we raised for MAKE A WISH this year im curious to see..

Snoozie · 05-07-2010, 09:26 AM

I'm going to watch this when I get home. Just by the looks of this thread, the vid will surely make me cry.

What a great cause to contribute to!

97TurboDSM · 05-07-2010, 10:31 AM

Im not sure the event organizers and the community as a whole could have picked a better foundation to help out. We're not so bad, now are we.

$5000 and change. It is in the thread in Upcoming Events.

**TROLL** · 05-07-2010, 01:33 PM

We raised $5039.48 to donate to Make-A-Wish, and our MAW representative told me that this represents 1.5 wishes, on average. The number is great but I think its even more awesome to know that we were able to donate a full wish to someone, plus some

Likewise got the chills reading the thread, and definately got choked up watching the vid. It's seriously awesome that we contributed to something like that.

I wasn't able to attend this meet but I was granted a wish from the make-a-wish foundation back when i had cancer. For me it is surprising and inspiring to find such a large group of young individuals to come together and support such a great cause. Make a wish is truly a great foundation providing dreams for those that face death on a daily basis. I sincerely would like to thank everyone that made donations, you can't imagine how much it means to those that get to receive a wish.
