On December 30th, 2011, Wish of a Lifetime, through the generous support of Bill Maris - Managing Partner of Google Ventures - announced three Wishes at the Champlain Senior Center's Holiday Party. Each Wish announcement is part of Wish of a Lifetime's partnership with longtime supporter, Bill Maris, for a project aimed at giving back to senior citizens in his hometown of Burlington, VT for the holidays. Wish of a Lifetime plans on fulfilling all three Wishes in 2012. The three Wish recipients include: Angelina A., who Wishes to reunite with her nephew, Anthony, Yvonne B., who Wishes to visit her former neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY as well as see the sites of NYC and take in a musical of her choosing, and Craig P., a long time country music fan who Wishes to see a show at the Grand Ole Opry along with touring the venue and getting backstage.

The event was extremely powerful and moving. All the Wish recipients were ecstatic that their Wishes were coming true. The whole center was moved by Bill's generosity. Bill has done so much for these seniors; buying their meals for the entire month of December as well as picking up the tab in January. All attendees were touched by the event and couldn't have been more supportive of Bill and Wish of a Lifetime's dedication to helping seniors in Burlington.
