Truckers in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, celebrated the 36th annual Make-A-Wish Mother’s Day Truck Convoy on May 11th, raising funds to grant wishes for children battling severe illnesses.

What's happening: This convoy is considered one of the largest in the nation and has steadily supported the Make-A-Wish Foundation over the decades.

• Many participating truck drivers spend the entire year gathering donations.
• Their relentless efforts last year funded 74 wishes for kids.

Event highlights: The convoy includes a 26-mile ride where some of the kids join the truckers for the journey.

This collective effort brings hope and joy to 65 children currently awaiting their wishes in the Susquehanna Valley. The range of wishes extends from trips and puppies to bedroom makeovers, offering personalized memories for each child, reported ABC 27.

One of the participating children expressed gratitude, saying, "It’s so nice to see that, like we’re not in it alone."

The ongoing tradition supports critically ill children and strengthens community compassion every year.
