We are in dire need of bilingual volunteers across the state, but especially in Lake County. We have many Spanish-speaking wish families in the area and very few volunteer to communicate with them. If you are bilingual and would like to help, please contact Lindsey at lsparks@makeawishindiana.org or by phone (317) 636-6060 or toll free 1-877-206-WISH.

Defender Direct employees take on Christopher with Mario Kart

Defender Direct, a security company on the north side of Indianapolis, has continued their partnership with the Make-A-Wish in Indiana by adopting their fifth wish this past May...

On Saturday, May 15, the UAW Local 2209 and the GM Assembly Plant of Fort Wayne hosted a benefit to grant the wishes of local Hoosier children. The Fort Wayne community came out to the Assembly Plant for a day full of activities, including a bike run, car and tractor show, and carnival activities for children. The event raised an astounding $27,673 and granted the wishes of 5 local children! Both David, age 15, and Zachary, age 14, received their wishes to go on Alaskan Cruises. Three-year olds Elsa and Ryan, along with four year old Aubrey will have their wishes come true when they travel to Walt Disney World.
Thank you to Local 2209, the GM Assembly Plant, www.DriveKelley.com, and the Fort Wayne community for making wishes come true!
