The Children's Wish "Wishmaker" Parade

Children's Wish is a truly worthy Canadian charity.

Today, in more than 100 communities across Canada, the Children's Wish "Wishmaker Parade" is raising funds to grant wishes for children diagnosed with high risk, life-threatening illnesses.

Wise, Kirsh and Winberg (that's my band, not a law firm!) joined Toronto Mayor David Miller and various other local personalities and performers for a benefit concert at Sunnybrook Park this morning, preceding the parade.

The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada is dedicated to working within the community to help every child enjoy the best quality of life possible, including the experience of laughter, shared joy and treasured memories with important people in their lives.

The Toronto Wishmaker Parade had an excellent turnout, in spite of weather challenges (although we were lucky enough to have the sun mostly shining when we took the stage). For those interested, our setlist included a cover of CSNY's Teach Your Children and five original songs: Northland Summer, Casting Colours, Together, Wayward Son and Open Up Your Eyes.

Congratulations to the Toronto organizers of this successful day, and a special word of thanks to Paul Lawrence who asked us to be a part of this excellent event.
