A one-day radio and television event that involves school children raising money (Kids for Wish Kids), volunteers holding buckets at 18 roadblocks across Northeast Arkansas, businesses digging deep to leverage big donations, and individuals giving from their hearts to continue to grant wishes, which now cost an average of $10,000.
