On this , we are honored to walk alongside our fellow nonprofit, Pray for Gray. As our state's only nonprofit brain tumor organization, Pray for Gray has supported many wish children and families in their walk through this critical illness. It truly takes a village to ensure every person fighting an illness receives the care, support, and community they need. https://prayforgray.com/

Pray for Gray supports brain tumor awareness, research, and patients in North Dakota. Join us in making a difference today.

Today, on , we’re honored to celebrate incredible wish alumni like Justin Schlosser from Bismarck. In the 1990s, Justin bravely faced a cancer diagnosis as an elementary student—and his wish to visit Walt Disney World to ride Space Mountain and meet the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brought him hope and joy during a challenging time. Justin’s journey didn’t end there. He continues to give back, helping Make-A-Wish North Dakota bring life-changing experiences to other children facing critical illnesses. Join us in applauding Justin and all survivors who inspire us every day with their strength and kindness! 💙✨
