Fall is seriously underway. The leaves are changing from vivid green to scarlett red and the air is feeling crisp. It's a season of comfort foods and cozy blankets. Most of all, it's that time of year when Jake by the Lake does our annual campaign for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario (formerly Children's Wish Foundation). 
This year, like many other things these days, we've changed how we're fundraising. In the past, our Pumpkins for Wishes campaign was a local hit but we wanted to broaden our reach. That's why we're offering these special edition 'Be-Leaf in Yourself' Crusher tees for men and women. Not only can you wear your Optimism but give back at the same time. $10 from every shirt sold will be given to this charity close to our hearts. Doing Good IS Feeling Good!

The Impact of a Wish

When children are battling a critical illness, so much of normal childhood is taken away from them — it is exhausting, both emotionally and physically. A Wish is something that gives kids the opportunity to look outside their illness — it restores a sense of childhood back to the child and normalcy back to the family.
