Cleveland Holiday Adventure x Wicked Awesome Wishes

On Saturday, December 7th the Wicked Awesome Wishes team traveled to the IX Center in Cleveland to meet up with the Northeast chapter of the A Kid Again foundation for their annual Holiday Adventure.  Taking place at the sprawling event center there was plenty of space for the over 2,500 participants and volunteers who were able to take part in a variety of activities, including some great food that was generously donated.  Not only was Wicked Awesome Wishes able to provide financial support toward the Holiday Adventure, but members of the WAW team along with Lady Jane's were able to help work Santa's Corner where a fifty yard line of kids and families waited throughout the day to meet Santa and give him their Wish lists.  After setting up, we were able to give some of the kids temporary festive tattoos like snowmen, reindeer or various princesses, and there was even a Buddy the Elf sighting who got all the impatient kids in line excited to meet Santa!

A Kid Again works with families and kids with life threatening disabilities, so getting to be active and have a fun day in a special and safe environment was such a special time.  We were able to get involved in many of the inflatable games like basketball, soccer, golf, axe throwing, and taking a walk down the holiday themed candy cane forest.  Seeing the joy on all the kids' faces who have gone through so much in their young lives made all the hard work and effort worth it.
