Disney Celebrates 40 Years of Making Magic With Make-A-Wish-Foundation
It is World Wish Day and what better day to commemorate 40 years of Disney making dreams come true with the Make-A-Wish foundation!
On April 29, 1980, Make-A-Wish was founded around the inspiring story of Chris Greicius, a young boy who had a dream of being a police officer. Since then, Make-A-Wish has become a worldwide operation and has granted nearly half a million wishes worldwide!
It takes roughly 200 people to make each wish come true but these special moments have touched the hearts of so many people over the years. For instance, today is the 40th Anniversary of Disney collaborating with Make-A-Wish. It started with a boy named Frank “Bopsy” Salazar at Disneyland Resort. You can see his picture below.
Over the past 40 years, Disney and Make-A-Wish have made over 140,000 wishes come true worldwide. Each one of them represents the fulfilment of someone’s biggest dreams. After all, it is a chance to celebrate the hope and perseverance of children facing incredible obstacles.
Today is a celebration of this amazing organization. With that in mind, Disney has created a special video to mark the occasion. Let’s take a look:
Here’s to 40 more incredible years of collaboration between Make-A-Wish and Disney! If you’re interested in supporting this incredible cause, we here at MickeyBlog recommend that you visit the Make-A-Wish official site here to make your donation.
