We are also pleased and proud to announce that this year's emcee is Colorado's own five time Olympic medalist, Missy Franklin!
This event is about the brave and wonderful wish kids we serve. As you might imagine, meeting a favorite sports figure is a popular wish. We are fortunate that sports icons like Landon Donovan, Tim Tebow, and Peyton Manning are so willing to make the time to grant wishes.
