LOOKING BACK
Rock the Wish 2018 was a Huge Success!
We would like to thank everyone who supported the inaugural Rock the Wish event in 2018. In its first year, Rock the Wish raised over $15,000.00 for Make a Wish Foundation, which enabled our charity to send Julia, a 17-year-old girl suffering from a brain tumor, and her entire family to Hawaii!
We plan to rock another wish this year and look forward to seeing everyone (and more) at Rock the Wish 2019!
Thank you once again for your support! We couldn't have done it without you.

Wish Kids’ Stories
MEET RILEY
Riley is 7 years old and she has Cystic Fibrosis. She loves to play games, have fun and do what she enjoys the most: spend time swimming at the beach. When Riley was given a chance to have a wish granted, she knew exactly what to ask for. Riley and her family traveled to sunny Montego Bay, Jamaica where they enjoyed five beautiful days going to the beach. A simple wish and yet, the time away from hospitals made all the difference.
MEET OWEN
4-year-old Owen always dreamed of being a firefighter but he was born with a heart condition that meant he had to have several open heart surgeries. When Owen was told he would be receiving a wish, he knew right away that wanted to be a firefighter. Owen's special day began with a greeting from a big, red firetruck at his doorstep. Then he received a firefighter’s uniform so that he could spend the day training to be a firefighter.
MEET REBECCA
Rebecca has Spinal Muscular Atrophy. She is a wonderful artist, and like many other 13-year-old girls, she dreams of going to Paris one day. Her wish was to go to Paris, which was granted, and she got to see all the amazing art at the Louvre. She even wore out the batteries in her wheelchair, traveling countless miles throughout the city while in Paris. She even got to go up the Eiffel Tower and take a cruise on the river. The trip was a dream come true.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Supporting sick children and ROCKING their wish!
How it all Started:
The Story behind Rock the Wish
We are the Cortinovis family and we created ROCK THE WISH to benefit Make-A-Wish Foundation. Hosting our yearly special evening is our way of giving back to a charity that made such a big difference in our lives. Our involvement with Make-A-Wish began when our daughter was undergoing cancer treatment. It was a very hard time for her and our family. Upon being granted a wish, we were amazed by the dedication and care taken to provide our daughter with an exciting, fun-filled adventure in Scotland. Make-A-Wish arranged for our daughter to meet her favorite bands in concert, and not only that, one of the bands, Shinedown, even dedicated her favorite song to her during the show! It was a surreal experience. Most importantly though, that experience was uplifting for our daughter and her wish was granted at a time when she needed it the most. That is what Make-A-Wish is about, which is why were are dedicated to supporting their cause. Even today, we fondly reflect back upon the experience and how unforgettably kind and wonderful Make-A-Wish was towards us during such a difficult time in our lives. All the people involved with Make-A-Wish understand how important a wish is for a child and their family and they dedicate themselves to this cause for the greatest benefit of all: to help kids be kids again.
