About our Event
Once again, we are proud to support Make-A-Wish Canada. We have been paired up with our Wish Kid for this year. She is a lovely five-year girl named Emma. Emma’s Wish is to have her very own pool in her back yard. Unfortunately, this year we are unable to gather the way we have in the past to have a great rock show and reconnect with all of our supporters. Covid-19 is making things a little bit more challenging this year, but we know with the help of our wonderful sponsor’s and great supporters we will make Emma’s Wish come true. Please take a moment to read Emma’s story, it will put a smile on your face.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Let’s get together, raise money and Rock the 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 this 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 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.
Emma’s wish to splash around!
Medical Condition: Nervous System Disorder Age: 6
Emma is a happy 5-year-old. She loves to be outside, go for walks, and feel the wind in her face. Emma enjoys listening to music, having fun with her friends and playing with her toys at home. Emma has been suffering from nervous system disorder that causes daily seizures since she was two months old. Emma is most content when she's playing on a swing, or splashing around in warm, bubbly water. It came as no surprise to her parents that her one true wish was to receive an above ground swimming pool. It is the perfect wish for a child who loves being outdoors, and she will benefit so much through this form of exercise and therapy while enjoying an activity that she can participate easily with her family and friends for many years to come! Thank you to ROCK THE WISH for helping to make Emma's wish come true.
