Eight years ago on November 23rd 2002 the Sullivan’s lost their youngest son Grant

when he was just 6 years old. Grant lost his battle to neuroblastoma, 5 months after

his relapse. Their oldest son’s good friend, Bart was 17 years old when he lost his cancer battle after 4 years of treat-

ments on March 29, 2004. GRANTS WISHES evolved from the passing of these two wonderful boys and others who

lost their lives to cancer with the help of family & friends.

We honor all their memories by granting 2nd wishes and we couldn’t do it without the help of people like you.

A special Thank

You to Ryan and his

party guests whom donated gift cards for teen-

agers and toys in lieu of birthday gifts. We

have made deliveries to CHOC for 7 years

filling treasure boxes regularly with the help

of Michele Adair. Our deliveries usually fill

all the treasures chests in the clinics and outpa-

tient services at CHOC. We also delivered

boxes of larger toys, boxes full of crayons and

markers for the oncology clinic. We have been

collecting wrapped Happy Meal Toys for the

treasure boxes at CHOC since 2003. We’d

love to have your help too. If you would like
