Make-A-Wish, Walmart partner for fundraiser Saturday

DeKALB – A one-minute stop to Walmart Saturday means $1 for children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Make-A-Wish Illinois and the no-contract cellphone provider Straight Talk Wireless are working together to raise $1 million to help grant the wishes of children with potentially fatal medical conditions.

Jessica Miller, spokeswoman for Make-A-Wish Illinois, said the first three Saturdays of the fundraiser has brought the $1 million goal in sight and the final Saturday could make it a reality.
