Oregon Chapter Celebrates 25th Anniversary

Eight-year-old Griffin, of Vancouver, knew he would receive his wish to Disneyland at some point.  However, this cystic fibrosis patient wasn’t expecting the surprise that awaited him at the Waffles & Wishes event on March 5, which celebrated the Oregon chapter’s 25th anniversary of granting local wishes. 

When Griffin was invited on stage at the breakfast event to share briefly about “waiting” for a wish, he (and the crowd) was surprised by an entrance from a special guest courtesy of Disney…Mickey Mouse, who delivered the news that Griffin was leaving immediately for his trip!  After big smiles and big hugs from Griffin, Mickey escorted the child and his family to the awaiting limo outside the Oregon Convention Center.  Then, they were whisked off to the airport to fly down to California.
