See a Make-A-Wish Child’s Wish Come True Thanks to the #ShareYourEars Campaign
For the last few weeks, everyone has been posting their pictures with their favorite Ears on with the hashtag #ShareYourEars all for a good cause. For each picture posted, The Walt Disney Company is donating $5 to Make-A-Wish up to $1 million. Today, “Giving Tuesday” is the last day to participate but there is still time left to post to your Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to help children with critical illnesses around the world – just like Liam.
Liam has battled a chronic illness for years but always dreamed of being a stormtrooper. Liam has always been a fighter but thanks to Make-A-Wish, Liam was recruited to fight a different fight – from a galaxy from far, far away! During his vacation to Walt Disney World, Liam headed over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and joined the March of the First Order as it made its way through the Park under Captain Phasma’s command. From there, Liam was able to have a special meet-and-greet with a stormtrooper! Check out the magic below:
As Liam said, “That was totally awesome!”
Liam’s wish is just one of the hundreds of thousands that Make-A-Wish have granted. Since 1980, 130,000 wishes have been granted with Disney helping with about 10,000 wishes per year through wish granting organizations around the world. Disney and Make-A-Wish’s partnership has helped kids around the world replace fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. Pure Disney Magic!
So, remember, there still is time to #ShareYourEars and help Disney contribute to this amazing cause!
