Every year Wishes On Wheels makes dreams come true for the trucking industry and courageous children. Every third Sunday in September, hundreds of families enjoy the Wishes On Wheels Truck Convoy to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Connecticut, Inc.
Wishes On Wheels is a group of passionate and hard-working friends committed to a shared goal – to organize a family-friendly truck convoy to bring together the entire trucking industry and raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which serves children with life-threatening illnesses.
From its inception, the convoy and cause were united. The event would be about driver camaraderie and community spirit, not companies or egos. From the beginning, it was important for the convoy to help children and families. The Make-A-Wish Foundation’s pure and simple mission – to bring happiness and joy to children and families – was perfectly aligned with the convoy’s goals. The kids’ wishes gave the convoy a higher purpose, and so a partnership was formed. And the convoy was aptly named: “Wishes On Wheels.”
