Wish granted! Take a look at 15-year-old Sam’s wish to meet Mike Trout! As a brave warrior against a brain tumor, Sam was filled with excitement as he embarked on a trip from his home in South Carolina to the Angels Stadium in Anaheim! His day was filled with special memories like receiving a custom jersey, touring the stadium and warming up with the players before the first pitch. The real treat for Sam was playing catch while getting to know his favorite player, Mike Trout. Cheers to amazing wish experiences like Sam’s that give hope for a brighter future! Special thanks to Major League Baseball (MLB) Los Angeles Angels and Fanatics the official sports sponsor of Make-A-Wish America . Make-A-Wish® South Carolina #WishWednesday #Angels #WishGranted

Samantha is a cool, music loving 11-year-old from Upland! Despite her battle with a respiratory disorder, Samantha’s favorite hobby is getting outside and playing soccer! When she’s inside, she loves playing her favorite X-box games and hanging out with friends. For her wish, Samantha went on a shopping spree to get all the things she dreamed of having. Her favorite purchases were from a trip to Zumiez, where she picked up a new skateboard, necklace, and some stylish clothes. She also stopped at Best Buy, where she received a new computer! Thanks to supporters like you, more wishes like Samantha’s can come true! #wishgranted #stylish #shoppingspree

It's time to take a swing at our annual Pickleball for Wishes Tournament presented by CAIN Group on Saturday, August 3rd at the nationally recognized Tennis and Pickleball Club at Newport Beach! Gather your friends or colleagues to enjoy the sport of pickleball and help raise funds to help grant wishes for local children with critical illnesses. Pickleball is known as one of the easiest sports to pick up and the event offers a free clinic to help participants learn some techniques and rules of the game if they’ve never played it before. Tournaments for advanced, intermediate, and beginners will be held after our beginner's clinic, so all experience levels are welcome! After the tournament final, players and spectators will gather for the Celebration of Wishes Reception which will include a warm meal, opportunity drawing, award ceremony, inspiring wish speakers, music and more! This year, we are introducing NEW sponsor, participant, and spectator opportunities based on your feedback. Your involvement helps us bring hope, strength, and joy to children in our local community. We can't wait to see you on the courts! https://lnkd.in/gdGEsjac #PICKLEBALL #ORANGECOUNTY #NEWPORTBEACH #COMMUNITY

Happy Independence Day! This July 4th, we're celebrating all the heroes in our lives, like 10-year-old Sebastian, who shows incredible courage and inspires us daily. Sebastian, who’s bravely battled a brain tumor, flew across the country from Wildomar to Washington, D.C. Inspired by his passion for presidential history, he was thrilled to explore the heart of our nation and learn more about its history. A highlight of his trip was visiting the Lincoln Memorial, where he got an even closer look into the life of his favorite president, Abraham Lincoln. Here's to celebrating wishes coming true! Happy 4th! #4thofjuly #MakeAWish
