Wish kid Omar from Ottawa and 18 other wish children
attended Super Bowl LIV in Miami
In February, Make-A-Wish® Eastern Ontario helped make history by granting Omar's wish. Omar was part of a record 19 wishes being granted at Super Bowl LIV. The 18-year-old lives with a blood disorder and joined 18 other wish kids and their families for the big game. Omar experienced a life-changing, football-fueled weekend thanks to the generous donations of individuals and corporate supporters, including the National Football League (NFL).
Omar and the other wish kids received a private, behind-the-scenes tour of Hard Rock Stadium, spent time with past and present NFL players, tested their football skills at the Super Bowl Experience and had red carpet access to the NFL Honors event. To cap off the wish, Omar witnessed first-hand the battle for the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy on Sunday, Feb. 2. Thanks to everyone who made Omar's wish possible!

CSN Collision Centres is launching its CSN Driving Wishes campaign to raise funds for Make-A-Wish® Canada. They will be driving the CSN Wish Mobile from Newfoundland to British Columbia this spring. On World Wish Day®, April 29, 2020, the anniversary of the wish that launched Make-A-Wish® and a global wish granting movement, CSN will begin its cross-Canada journey, making stops at participating CSN locations along the way. As the car travels from province to province, anyone who spots the vehicle is encouraged to use #csnwishmobile on social media to participate in the campaign.
