Thanks to successful fundraising efforts, the VOCM Cares Foundation in partnership with Make-A-Wish NL have granted a wish for a sick child in this province.

The VOCM Cares Foundation is donating $10,000 from their share of the Iceberg Alley Performance Tent 50/50 campaign, which raised over $38,000 for the two charities.

Barry Fowler, Chapter Director with Make-A-Wish NL, says the campaign was already a huge success, but to see the extra generosity is something he calls incredible.

Fowler says granting a wish is a much needed thing for many of these sick children as it often allows them to spend time with their family without having to worry about their illness.

Sonya Smith, Executive Director of VOCM Cares, is thrilled that they were able to raise enough money to make a child’s dream come true.

She thanks everyone who helped them run a success campaign and allowed them to make such a significant contribution to a family in need.
