It was an incredible morning of wishes - both old and new! Attendees listened to stories of wish alumni and volunteers and reveled in the reveal of Gabe’s wish to meet Andrew McCutchen and the Pittsburgh Pirates.The day was filled with amazing Pirates swag, a group of swashbuckling buccaneers and a visit from The Pirate Parrot. There was even a special video message to Gabe from Andrew McCutchen, himself.

Waffles & Wishes would not have been possible without the incredible generosity of our Wishmaker sponsor, Siebenbuerger Club and our signature sponsors, The Plastek Group and UPMC Health Plan, and our media sponsor, WQLN. We wish to extend a huge 'Thank You' to Traci Teudhope of Erie News Now for emceeing the event and adding even more magic to the day.
