We work closely with the pediatric oncology teams at Children’s Hospital of Orange County, Miller Chil-
dren’s Hospital in Long Beach, Kaiser in Anaheim, Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital, Rady
Children’s Hospital in San Diego who manage the care of all pediatric patients whom cancer relapses.
Wishes are granted by our fabulous volunteers and we couldn’t do it without their time and expertise. This
is just the beginning of GRANTS WISHES and with your help we can make more 2nd wishes come true.
Alyssa loves Chuck E Cheese and her new laptop.
Fall 2010
Imagine that your child were just given the news that the cancer is back. Then….
Imagine an organization that would grant your child a second wish
to help bring a smile to their face,
making them happy and provides things to improve quality of life while boosting their spirits.

150 Wishes Granted with Much More To Do!
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-

have made deliveries to CHOC for 7 years

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

treasure boxes at CHOC since 2003. We’d
love to have your help too. If you would like
