67,703.
That is our lucky number, today.
On August 10th, the Make-a-Wish Foundation
celebrates its Rubber Ducky Derby in its 25th edition, a very special occasion
by itself. But for inWhatLanguage, it is twice as special: for the very first
time, we are an active part of it. We have done a campaign, donated our money
and asked others to help and participate, and we have raised a grand total
$67,703 BEFORE the actual event took place.
That’s why today we can attend the 25th
Anniversary of the Rubber Ducky Derby with a great sense of fulfillment. We
didn’t know if it would work, we didn’t know if we were reaching for the stars;
we just wanted to try, to make a pledge, and to make people aware that a lot of
sick children out there could feel a little happier thanks to a gesture as
small as a little online pledge. And it worked!
Nothing less than $67,703 are going to be
exclusively dedicated to make terminally ill children’s wishes come true. No
goal could be nobler and more exciting. And for that, we want to give the
warmest thanks to all of you who made this possible.
If you are coming to the event today at
Seven Peaks Salt Lake 1200 W 1700 South, we will be there, trying to make this
number even higher, trying to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation even more
successful in its amazing endeavor, all the while having fun and meeting new
and interesting people who share a common interest: seeing children smile.
