Dreaming Big in Appleton
Calvin was born with a critical endocrine disorder, a condition that requires countless doctor’s appointments, hospital visits, treatments, and a wide range of medications to manage. But despite his challenges, Calvin approaches life with an adventurous heart and a love for learning, exploring, and sports!
When Calvin found out he qualified for a wish through Make-A-Wish® Wisconsin, he knew exactly what he wanted: a trip to Hawaii. His dream is to visit Pearl Harbor, experience the thrills of Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones-themed adventures, explore the beauty of the islands, and take in the magical traditional Hawaiian fire dancers.
Thanks to the community’s generosity and organizations like Make-A-Wish® Wisconsin, Calvin and his family will soon enjoy a relaxing week in Hawaii, far from hospital walls and filled with life-changing memories. It’s a chance to simply be together, laugh, explore, and soak in the joy of the moment.
Calvin’s courage and determination inspire us, and we’re thrilled to share his story as part of our ongoing partnership with the Packers. Here’s to cheering for Calvin, both on and off the field!
Thank you for helping make wishes like Calvin’s come true.
At Renewal by Andersen, our recent partnership with the Green Bay Packers has given us a special opportunity: to celebrate incredible kids from our community who inspire us all. This week, we’re honored to introduce you to Calvin, A bright, outgoing 12-year-old from Appleton, Wisconsin, whose resilience, spirit and big dreams make him a true “Hometown Kid.”
