Making the Wish Connection


Hello everybody! Shelby & Co. has some pretty big events coming up!

First, the walk is coming! We encourage everybody on the team to help us fundraise. We have some team members who have really cool fundraising ideas. We also encourage you to check out our Facebook page for info on all things Shelby & Co.!

Now here’s the cool part! My 1st grade teacher knows these incredible people from an organization called The Wish Connection. The Wish Connection is similar to The Make-a-Wish Foundation, except these people grant wishes for kids who have everyday challenges with things like diabetes, not terminal illnesses. They started this in Texas and are bringing it to the Bay Area. I am going to be the first Bay Area wish child!

I am going to go to San Francisco on Friday in a LIMO! Once I am in San Fran, I will get settled in to the Mark Hopkins Hotel (on the top of Nob Hill). Then go to an Italian restaurant named Bucca di Beppo.

On Saturday, I get to eat breakfast in a restaurant in the hotel. After breakfast, I will go to the House of Air, which is an indoor trampoline park at Crissy Field. Then, we go back to the hotel to get freshened up and go to a Giants pre-game party! After the party, we will get into the limo that will drive us to AT&T Park for a field visit! After the game, we will go back to the hotel and rest.

On Sunday, we will eat breakfast at another restaurant in the hotel. After, we will go to the Academy of Sciences, where we will go on the Adventure Tour. After, the limo will bring us back home!

However, this is only phase one! New York is phase two…
