The wish kids joined Beth and Colby on stage to help grant his wish.
This summer, Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee had their Homecoming event where they showed off and celebrated their new home, honored their wish kids on the blue carpet, and granted wish kid Colby’s wish!
During the event with some fellow wish kids on stage, Colby found out that his wish to meet soccer superstar Lionel Messi is being granted this season. On top of that, two players from the Nashville Soccer Club surprised Colby with a new jersey, tickets to their next game, and an offer to be the honorary team captain at the next game.
It was a magical evening and Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee was excited to celebrate this milestone with so many of their wish families and supporters.
