Braving the heat index of 108 degrees Scott & Cynthia Wooge, Frank and Kimm Blair, Randy Wagnon, Sherry Ireland, Don Stibor, Keith Reeves and all the crew did a night-glow to help raise money for Make-A-Wish. The night-glow was held at the beautiful Marina in Alton, Illinois as part of the Lighted Boat Regatta.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is the largest and most respected wish-granting organization in the world. It exists for one purpose: to fulfill the special wishes of children under the age of 18 who have life-threatening illnesses. I dedicated this event in memory of balloonist Wes Rinker. Anyone wanting to make contributions to Make-A-Wish can do so at the following address: Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, 100 W. Clarendon Avenue, Ste. 2200, Phoenix, AZ 85013.
