Greetings
Thanks to your support, we granted 263 deserving seniors their Wish of a Lifetime last year! We are gaining momentum and hope to grant a Wish a day by the end of 2013.
We have hundreds of Wishes just waiting to be granted and more coming in every day. With more than 10,000 Americans turning 65 every day, requests to grant Wishes are growing right along with our aging population.
For a couple of lattes a week, you can help us accomplish our 2013 goal and honor deserving seniors across the country. Please sign-up for a $25 recurring monthly donation at seniorwish.org and help grant a Wish a of Lifetime.
Best wishes,

"You have changed my life totally for the best." --Arlene M., 74.
"I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for my Wish.
It has made a big difference in my life." --Marie V., 75.
"Having my Wish granted made me feel that I was not forgotten but
that I was loved and remembered." --Stuart S., 80.

Make James' & Nancy's Wish Come True!
James, 69, and Nancy, 68, are close siblings from Prince Frederick, MD. Their wish is to travel to Tucson, AZ, to visit their brother, Martin, whom they haven't seen in over 20 years. Unfortunately, Martin is in failing health. James and Nancy have suffered the death of two other siblings, and feel like a visit to their brother in Tucson is long overdue.
James & Nancy fear that they may never have another opportunity to visit their brother Martin before it's too late. This trip would mean the world to James and his sister Nancy.
Help grant James' and Nancy's Wish today! No donation is too
small to make a senior's Wish come true!

Climb to Glory Premiere
In January, Wish of a Lifetime and the Colorado Ski and Snowboard Museum hosted the World Premiere of Climb to Glory: Legacy of the 10th Mountain Ski Troopers, produced by Warren Miller Entertainment. More than 400 people came out to view the documentary tribute to a group of highly skilled skiers and outdoorsmen who trained

warfare soldiers.
Attendees were greeted by a photographer on the red carpet, as well as several WWII 10th Mountain Division reenactors. More than a dozen original 10th Mountain Veterans attended, including Wish Recipient Dick Over who was featured in the film.
The evening raised more than $40,000 for Wish of a Lifetime and the Colorado Ski and Snowboard Museum. The event would not have been possible without the support of Chris Anthony, The Sports and Entertainment Company, Libby Brown, Silver Oak Cellars, The Graham Companies, Jamie Duke, Stacey Sapp and Friends, Mile High Sports, Ferrari of Denver, Arta Tequila, and Dr. Jodi Chambers.
Climb to Glory is scheduled for a broad release this fall.
