The Make-A-Wish foundation is a wonderful organization that helps ill children live their dream for a day.
This weekend, they granted Kaylee’s wish to be a Wildcat for the weekend, reported by KSR. She arrived at the Joe Craft Center yesterday afternoon and watched the team practice. On top of that, she was able to hang out with the players and get their autograph.
Who’s her favorite player? Quade Green! She got to meet him yesterday and was able to hang out for a bit.
Today, they invited her to the game where she was able to watch her favorite team get an exciting win at home.
When we walked off the floor, Kaylee was waiting for us to congratulate our guys on a hard-fought win. We had a great weekend with Kaylee and her family. Thank you for setting this up, @MakeAWish. pic.twitter.com/BPLrmKYbmh

The Make-A-Wish foundation has been doing this for years and it’s always a pleasure to see. To see the look on Kaylee’s face has to bring a smile to everyone’s face. It’s both exciting for Kaylee as she’s living her dream, and it’s a great opportunity for these players to experience as they’re putting a smile on her face.
Kaylee is looming forward to the game tomorrow but hard to top this. pic.twitter.com/9BYFkJDyaZ
