At just 9 years old, Jack is showing that one person can make a big difference.
After his sister Sydney received a magical wish through A Wish Come True, Jack saw firsthand how much that experience meant to his family. Wanting to give another child that same joy and hope, he turned his love for hockey into Pucks for Bucks, a fundraising campaign dedicated to helping grant wishes for local children facing life-threatening illnesses.
During Season 1, Jack raised more than $10,000, helping grant Maddox's wish to Disney. Along the way, Jack and Maddox became close friends, and their families formed a lasting bond.
Now, Jack is back for Season 2 with another special goal. This year, he is raising funds to help grant James' wish. James is 8 years old and lives with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). His dream is to travel to Philadelphia to watch his favorite basketball player, Jaylen Brown, play in person.
What makes this story even more meaningful is that James was referred to A Wish Come True by Maddox's family. One wish inspired another, and Jack now has the opportunity to help continue that ripple of kindness.
Even more exciting, if Jack reaches his $5,000 fundraising goal, an anonymous donor has pledged to match every dollar raised, turning $5,000 into $10,000 to help grant wishes and support even more local families.
Join us in cheering Jack on and celebrating a young boy whose kindness is creating hope for others, one puck at a time. Every donation helps bring James one step closer to his wish while supporting more children and families throughout our community.
