The Season of Wishes program aims to grant 75 wishes to kids in need by December 9 in order to light up the "Wishing Tree." Their annual Wish Week runs from December 6 - 9 from 7 a.m. - 9 p.m. If they succeed in granting the 75 wishes, then there will be a festive lighting of the Wishing Tree on Friday, December 9.
