donating their services.
Wish surprises began at
Planet Beauty with a
makeover followed by
shopping at Forever 21.
Personal shoppers had
everything pulled for her where she was
surprised by her favorite designer, LaKisha
Livingston-Brown of Z by Zevarra. It was
a day full of surprises and so many people helping to make Katherine’s wish
day wonderful. Katherine looked so beautiful and enjoyed everything.
To grant the wishes of children whose cancer relapses or endure never-
ending treatments. Granting the child a 2nd wish - bettering their future by
bringing a smile to their face, and moments of happiness to their life. Giving
them strength in their ongoing battle to conquer cancer.

Uptown Cheapskate Makes Tori’s Wish
Come True and Gives More!
Westerly Student Leadership 6th-8th graders in Long Beach facilitated a holiday shining star wish
list drive for their entire school K-8. The stars were in the office and labeled with an assortment of gifts
for specific wish kids along with gifts to go to kids of all ages fighting cancer . They raised $352.00 to
help fund a wish as well. One of the families donated 4 tickets to Disneyland for our wish child and her
family. Their goal was to grant 2 full wishes and they got really close and made these wishes extra spe-
cial with their ideas and donations. We are amazed at all the young philanthropists who give so much of
themselves and think of others.
Thank you to the wonderful people, schools and companies that have supported our ongoing toy collection in-
cluding Anaheim Hills Elementary and Canyon Rim 6th grade leadership for collecting Happy Meal Toys for us.
Mon at KD’s Donuts on Weir Canyon has a book exchange donation program also benefiting Grants Wishes.
The International Order of Foresters made Build a Bears for our wish kids and others fighting cancer at the
hospitals we serve. Our boxes could not be filled without the help of these young kids helping other kids that are
in need. It fills us with pride to have such wonderful people in our community. Grants Wishes has been making
toy deliveries to CHOC and their clinics since 2003. Children and teenagers select a toy from the treasure boxes
following a procedure to help redirect their attention to something fun and new.
If you would like to host a toy drive or teen collection please feel free to contact us for additional details.
There is a never ending need for treasure box toys and little somethings for the teens so they aren’t left out.
Items that are needed: Everything must be new & unused including: Happy Meal toys in their original packag-
ing, play dough, coloring books, crayons, small toys, nail polish, board games, Legos, socks, hats, reading
books, school supplies, and $5 gift cards for teenagers. For Information email: [email protected]

Tori wished for a MacBook for school
which is most of our wish budget. She
loves 2nd hand stores so we contacted
Uptown Cheapskate in Fullerton to
arrange for a shopping spree. The
owner JoAnn and her staff were won-
derful and very helpful. We surprised
Tori at the store at 10:00am on a Sun-
day which was a complete surprise for
Tori. Uptown Cheapskate helped Tori gifting her lots of
accessories and Tori enjoyed her wish day and shopping
with the help of her family and friends.
Uptown Cheapskate also choose GRANTS WISHES to
benefit from their clothing donations to Clothes for the
Cause raising $4125.00 to date to fund more wishes.

On November 23, 2002, five months after his relapse, Grant Sullivan lost his battle
to neuroblastoma at the age of 6. One year after his passing, the Sullivan Family
received the first wish request. In 2005, GRANTS WISHES became a non-profit 501C3 and began fundraising to
serve CHOC cancer patients. Currently serve seven hospitals in Southern California. GRANTS WISHES has
now granted over 316 wishes with the help of family, friends, donors, volunteers and grants.
We honor Grant’s memory and that of many others by granting 2nd wishes to kids fighting cancer.
GRANTS WISHES is a non-profit 501C(3) foundation.
