Vegas Boy Will Get Wish Surprise At Upcoming Aviator’s Game
An unknowing boy from Las Vegas is about to get his wish granted in front of hundreds of local baseball fans.
Aspen White was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when he was born. Now, at 13 years old, he endures daily treatment for his illness. He also has to take up to eight different medications every day just to keep his lungs clear. As a Make-A-Wish® child, White was asked by his wish granters what in the whole world he could do or have if he had the choice. His wish was to visit Hawaii.
But just telling White in his hospital room that his wish was being granted wasn’t enough. Especially since White happens to be a huge baseball fan. So Make-A-Wish® Southern Nevada joined forces with the Las Vegas Aviators baseball team to create a fundraising night at the Las Vegas Ballpark. Before the game begins, White will be told that his wish to go to Hawaii is being granted. Then, White will get to throw the ceremonial first pitch to kick off the game.
