IL-FairviewHeights/62208-Walk for Wishes-SAT 3/10/12

Post by SirLuke »

As usual this was a great event!! The set up was our usual. We hovered around the registration area until the walk started and then we made our way up to the foodcourt where a photo area was set up for us. People could get their photo taken by us and have it printed on the spot for a $1 donation. Of course a lot of people donated more than $1 for this.

We helped raise $259 for the Make A Wish foundation!!! Overall, for the whole day, the MAW made over $24,000!!!

The MAW were great! They really like us! One of the heads of the MAW Adam, said that when we were coming down the escalator to the registration area, and the DJ started playing the Star Wars music, he actually got chills. It was quite the grand entrance!

I really want to thank the Northerners who came down to help us! Steve, Ashley, Brian, Cheryl and Aimee, your help was much appreciated! We even had a couple troopers from the 70th Explorers!

I don't want to toot my horn, but seeing the other troopers doing their shenanigans helped inspire me at the event. We had a photo op with the Chick-Fil-A cow mascot and since I was a sandie, it was only natural for me to say "Moooooove Along" as the cow walked away. I was feeling very proud, and when Brian looked at me and immediately put his hand up for a high five, I knew I did well!

We trooped for 2 1/2 hours.

Pictures will be coming!

Luke Naliborski - 5388
