Truck Convoy in Hanover an Amazing Event
The 7th Annual Annual Truck Convoy for Wishes held on May 4th at L & H Trucking in Hanover, PA, was an incredible event for truckers, wish families and the general public alike. Big rig truckers pay $50 to register and then collect donations and pledges for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. On the day of the event, nearly 200 trucks traveled the Convoy route with more than 50 wish children on board (look for the trucks that say "Wish Child on Board"). Fans line the convoy route and then end up at L & H Trucking for food, games, rides and a concert by Kevin Sharp, country musician and former Make-A-Wish child (at age 17 Kevin met music producer David Foster).
Sherri Keller is the brains and dynamo behind the Convoy's success. Many thanks to Sherri, the good people at L & H Trucking and everyone who volunteered, participated and attended. The event has raised more than $250,000 to date.
This just in from wish child Hayden's mom: "Thank you for such an amazing day yesterday! It was our first time at the Convoy and we were blown away. What a great day we had."
