Local Wish families want YOU to sign up for September’s Make-A-Wish Heroes Challenge in Red Deer
There’s still time to become a Make-A-Wish superstar ahead of this September’s Heroes Challenge, taking place in Red Deer.
The event will pit teams of six, including Wish Kid captains, against one another in sports-related challenges, Sept. 18 at The Dome. There’s also an after-party at Bo’s.
The deadline to register is Sept. 1, and each team is expected to raise $5,000, or about half the cost to grant one wish. There are more than 40 kids on the waitlist in the Red Deer region alone, hoping their’s will be granted sooner than later.
For Red Deer’s inaugural Heroes Challenge, two of the Wish Kids taking part will be Liam and Isaac, both of whom recently took trips to Florida — to Disney World and Universal Studios, respectively.
