Shelby (one of the Wish kids) sings Don't Stop Believin' with
Jonathan Cain of Journey to celebrate reaching our goal!
WE DID IT!
Our first WishBone Roof-Sit Radiothon from atop the Grand Hyatt San Francisco raised
$500,000
for the Greater Bay Area Make-A-Wish chapter to help them grant wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses.
We couldn't have done it without the help of our generous sponsors, cheerful volunteers, hard-working staff ... and of course, you - our family of Boneheads! What else can we say?
THANK YOU!
Whether it was by calling in, texting, donating online, sending us a check, bidding in our auction or coming by to drop off cash - it all added up as you helped us make it across that finish line!
We can't thank enough, the warm and gracious management and staff at the Grand Hyatt San Francisco on Union Square, on the corner of Stockon and Post Streets. We could not have done this without them!
We'd also like to thank:
 Jonathan Cain and Ross Valory of Journey, Eddie Money, Huey Lewis, Sammy Hagar, WWE legend Sgt. Slaughter, comedian Marc Maron, KRON-TV4 weatherman Mark Danon, chefs Roland Passot (La Folie) and Mark Dommen (One Market)
- Atlanta Braves pitcher Tim Hudson, SF Giants outfielder Andres Torres, San Jose Sharks winger Ryane Clowe and Olympic gold medalist Jonny Moseley
- All of the Wish kids and their family members
- Our phone bank volunteers
- Our sponsors - ATS Communications, Forward Funds, Macy's, Gap, Sports Basement, Levi Strauss & Co., Lucky/Save Mart Supermarkets, Sports Gallery, Comcast Sportsnet.
 The Make-A-Wish Foundation is able to share the power of a wish®, thanks to the support of generous individual donors. Make-A-Wish and 107.7 The Bone welcome all levels of donation, whether it's a one-time gift, a monthly donation or the establishment of a matching gifts program.
Thank you for your gift to Make-A-Wish (Greater Bay Area chapter) during our WishBone roof-sit radiothon.
