Join Make-A-Wish to Create Guinness World Record’s Largest Human Star! November 17, 2011

As part of our Season of Wishes campaign, Make-A-Wish Canada is inviting friends, family and participants from local schools, community groups and retailers to help us create the largest human star and break a Guinness World Record!

On Thursday, November 17, at 4 p.m. Make-A-Wish®
Canada, alongside wish child, Rachel; country singer, Drake Jensen, and 300+ students from Don Mills Collegiate Institute will be coming together at Shops at Don Mills in the Town Square - the grassed area near Glow Restaurant and Aroma Espresso -
to create the Guinness World Record’s largest human star!

Wish child Rachel, now 9 ¼ years old, had her wish granted in 2008, and she has been working closely with Make-A-Wish on the world record application and event. “Creating the world’s largest human star is another way that my family, Make-A-Wish and I can reach out to other children and share the hope, strength and joy that is experienced with a wish – like my beautiful butterfly garden,” said Rachel.

Make-A-Wish is selling sparkling stars for $5 each, leading up to and at the event. They can be purchased at the event or online. Students and guests will be asked to wear and turn on theirs when forming the human star. “This event and star will help symbolize the true power of a wish for children like me with life-threatening illnesses,” said Rachel.

When: November 17, 2011 4 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Guests Arrive: 4:00 p.m.
Speeches: 4:15 p.m.
