"Wishes on Wheels, Inc. is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization made up of passionate and hardworking volunteers committed to a shared goal - to organize a family-friendly truck convoy and event to bring together families, friends and community members to support children with life-threatening medical conditions. Dozens of local Wish Kids look forward to Wishes On Wheels as an annual tradition that simply can't be missed. Many of the truck drivers volunteer to have Wish Families ride along with them during the Convoy. When the Wish Kids arrive, they carefully select the truck they will ride shotgun in during the Convoy or search until they find "their truck" from the previous year. Upon return to Rentschler Field in East Hartford, there is more fun, food and festivities to help raise money for this important cause."

Hey All! We've been invited back to Wishes on Wheels Truck Convoy happening again on October 2nd at Rentschler Field in East Hartford. The CTG has done this event for many years.  We would aim to get to Rentschler Field by 8:00-8:30 AM as it becomes harder to gain access to the event after that and be dressed up ready to interact with kids and families as they get back around 10-10:30 am. Crowds usually die down by 1:30/2:00pm. Parking is free and on-site for volunteers. There is an entrance to the field off of Silver lane across from Simmons road. Tell them you are a vendor and you will be guided ??in.Blasters are fine. The event coordinator let us know they should have a tent to change in in privacy in addition to a tent for shade and comfort. This is a great event and one you won't want to miss!
