It's World Bicycle Day, and we're reflecting on a couple of bike wishes from 2 years ago. Jameson wished to have bike ramps, and Cooper wished to have an electric bicycle. These wishes brought a lot of hope & joy to both Jameson & Cooper along with their families and communities.

"[Jaxson's wish] was a once in a lifetime experience. My son was able to maximize his time doing what he loves - roller coasters!! It was also amazing to join the Give Kids The World family and connect with others who were going through some of the same things as us!"

A special THANK YOU to the Culver’s teams in Sheboygan, Oostburg & Shawano for their critical support this past World Wish Month as they helped raise over $13,000 for local kids battling critical illnesses. Be sure to stop in by them & share the love!

"Zane has always talked about going to visit Tokyo; however, we didn't think that him getting Hodgkin's Lymphoma would make that a reality. So his wish actually came true. Our family truly enjoyed experiencing Tokyo as a family and all that it offered." - Zane's parents

Today, on Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the military members who lost their lives bravely serving and protecting us. Their sacrifice and dedication continue to inspire wish kids like Korbyn, who wished to be a member of the Michigan National Guard.
