On December 19th the Wicked Awesome Wishes team met outside Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak to join the annual tradition of wishing pediatric patients goodnight during the month of December. For two straight weeks every year before Christmas, volunteers get together outside of the pediatric unit to flash their lights wishing the kids spending the holidays in the hospital a good night. The tradition, starting in 2017, has been a great way to get the community involved in a generous cause, providing the kids with the feeling that they have support and are not alone during the holiday season.
The Wicked Awesome Wishes team bundled up in the weather and gathered glowsticks and phone lights, along with a couple hundred other volunteers, to wave in unison while the kids flashed lights from their windows back. Wicked Awesome Wishes was also able to donate financial support to help this cause. It was a night full of hope and blessings and we look forward to continuing the tradition next year!
