Make-A
Wish started in 1980 as a result of a 7 year old boy who had Leukemia
and wanted to be a Police Officer. The local Police Department made the
arrangements and the boy’s wish was fulfilled shortly before he passed
away from the disease. Today the Make A Wish Foundation grants wishes
to children with life-threatening medical conditions. NAFA New
York-InterCounty Chapter is excited to support this wonderful foundation
with the funds raised from this raffle. A representative from
Make-A-Wish is scheduled to be at the meeting. So come and be ready to
