Make a Wish

You may know that I have been volunteering with Make a Wish this past year.  I got involved after a colleague (am I old enough/cool enough to have colleagues?) showed me some pro bono work he was doing for a non-profit and I was motivated to do some volunteer work as well.  I chose Make a Wish because they are a solid organization that supports children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.  More than that, the kids are fantastic and there is something magical about sharing in their wishes.

If you're wondering what "my wish" would be, I'm pretty sure I would have to go with singing back-up for Neil Diamond in Central Park.  But honestly, spending time with kids who have serious medical conditions and their families has been very rewarding in and of itself.  Their next big event is the 25th Anniversary of the Rubber Ducky Derby.  To learn more, or to sponsor a $10 ducky and participate in the race, you can follow this link.  (I think.  I'm not fantastic at technology.)    Or ask me with questions.  Thanks.
