    Obewan Christmas Musical Light Show

    A fan favorite Wish Your Way fundraiser made for the Obewan Christmas musical light show put on by a supporter, Jeff Oberst.

    For four years, supporter, Jeff Oberst, inspired by the holiday spirit, organizes an annual Obewan Christmas musical light show in San Jose while giving back to Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area through his custom Wish Your Way Fundraiser page! Families and community members drive out to the lit-up house and listen to their FM broadcast while watching over 30,000 lights dancing to the music from their cars, and all donations made through the Jeff's custom Wish Your Way page go back to helping grant more wishes for children with critical illnesses.
