Disney and the Make-a-Wish Foundation are constantly working together to help young children with potentially life threatening diseases help increase the quality of their lives by granting the wishes of the child. During numerous trips to Walt Disney World, I have seen the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s presence in the parks as they give joy and hope to the lives of their recipients.
Currently, the Disney Company is helping to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation by offering Pooh “Wishbands” in honor of Pooh’s 80th Anniversary. The Wishbands, which read, “Always Together, Friends Forever”, are meant to be used as friendship bracelets that one can trade and “connect” to make wishes.
75% of the proceeds from the sales of the bracelets will go directly to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The bracelets retail for $2.00 plus $1.75 for shipping and handling.
You can order your Wishband by visiting disneyshopping.com or by sending a check or money order to the “Pooh Wishbands, P.O. Box 390570, El Paso, Texas 88539-0570.” You can find more information about the Wishbands by visiting Disney’s Pooh Wishband site.
