"Twilight Wish Foundation Month" Designated by PA House of Representatives for June 2007

On Monday, June 4, 2007, Bucks county-based Twilight Wish Foundation was honored by having the month of June 2007 designated as “Twilight Wish Foundation Month” in Pennsylvania.  Sponsored in part by Representative Marguerite Quinn, R-Bucks, Resolution 287 will honor the work that Twilight Wish Foundation has done throughout the Commonwealth in enriching the lives of many seniors through advocacy for senior issues and building awareness through education and hands-on multi-generational experiences .

As part of the celebration of this historic designation, Twilight Wish Foundation granted the wish of a senior citizen on the floor of the House of Representatives. Karen Snow, a Harrisburg resident in her 70s, had her wish of a nice dinner with her daughter, including transportation, granted.  Karen’s wish was be the 767th individual wish granted by Twilight Wish Foundation, a 501c(3) charitable non-profit organization.

In addition, Rep. Quinn asked younger generations throughout the Commonwealth to perform spontaneous acts of kindness towards seniors throughout the month of June.
