Update: Seth's Wish To Be Granted When Godzilla Comes To Branford

BRANFORD, CT —Godzilla will be roaming the streets of Branford Thursday. Well, actually a guy in a Godzilla costume, to make a kid's wish come true.

WPLR's Chaz and AJ, teamed up with “Make-A-Wish” Connecticut and raised just over $10,000 in 24 hours to grant a young boy’s wish.

Seth is a 4 year-old boy from Branford who was born with a heart issue that required surgery five days after being born. His wish was to take a camping trip down south in an RV with his family. To make Seth’s wish come true, $10,000 needed to be raised so that “Make-A-Wish” can make it all happen.

“Once again our listeners come to the rescue,” Chaz said in a media release. “This is the true meaning of community spirit.”

Thursday, AJ will spend the entire day walking around Branford dressed up as Seth’s favorite character, Godzilla.

He'll begin his trek dressed as Godzilla at 9 a.m. at Premier Subaru in Branford. From there, he will walk around to different landmarks in town and visit some of Seth’s favorite spots. AJ plans to meet Seth for the very first time in front of the Branford Police Department, at 10:30 a.m. and from there, Seth and Godzilla will walk to the Town Green where they’ll stop and enjoy a quick picnic lunch featuring Seth’s favorite food, pizza.

“We are so grateful to the Chaz and AJ show and their incredible listeners who together raised $10,000 to make Seth’s wish come true," Kim Pugh, director of Major Gifts for Make-A-Wish Connecticut, said. “It is such an inspiration to see the community come together and show such generous support for this family. We look forward to AJ’s walk next week.”
