$3000 a wish come true

VOLUNTEEERS at the Cardinia-Casey Make-A-Wish Foundation have raised more than $3000 to help seriously ill children.
About 150 people attended the fundraiser and were treated to performances from Elvis impersonator Mark Andrews.
Andrews, a regular at Crown Casino, performed his Dead Set Legends Show, featuring Dean Martin, Buddy Holly, John Lennon, Tom Jones, Austin Powers and Elvis.
The $3000 plus raised on the night will assist in granting wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions.
This year’s Wish Day will be held on Friday 17 April.
Volunteers will sell sausages and merchandise in front of Safeway Pakenham.
Anyone wishing to find out more about Make-A-Wish Australia can phone the national office on 1800 032 260 or Cardinia-Casey branch president Joy Watkins on 5942 5565.
