Indiana YAC Raises $4,000 For Make A Wish Foundation

Indiana YAC raised $4,000 to help send five-year-old Zane Williams and his family to Disney World through the Indiana Make-A-Wish foundation. Indiana YAC “adopted” Zane, who is afflicted with a life-threatening disease called Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy Complex 1 Deficiency, in October 2008 with the goal of raising as much money as possible to fulfill his wish of going to Disney World for Star Wars Weekend. Indiana YAC raised money at each of its events during late 2008, starting with the YAC Booth at the 2008 IIAI State Convention Exhibit Show in November and culminating with a major fundraising push at the 2009 Indiana YAC Conference. This was an excellent project that allowed Indiana YAC and its members and supporters to help a young boy, and his family, who is going through an extremely difficult ordeal.
