Sweet Dreams Dessert Day
1100 wishes have been granted to date by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Help us make it 1101.
Wave your magic wand, close your eyes, and begin to wish… Imagine all the things that are special to you. What hero would you like to meet, what magical places would you like to visit, what do you wish you could be, what have you dreamed of having? Send your troubles away. Forget what might impress your friends, your family, and your parents. Don't worry about bills or money. Just think about magic? Hold your wish wand tight, and make one true, heartfelt wish for the dream that would bring you a lifetime of joy. Now wait for the magic to begin.

For 14 year old Kristen, Cowichan Bay resident, her wish is to embark on a cruise of the Gulf of Mexico. The 7 days that she will spend visiting Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas aboard a luxury fantasy ship will hopefully allow Kristen to escape her every day reality. This friendly kind young girl has a brain tumor, and the anticipation of this dream trip in late May has been a much needed diversion for her. Out of our sheer admiration for her bravery and strength, we here at Cactus Club Cafe are doing what we can to make Kristen’s wish come true.
Thursday, May 1st is Sweet Dreams Dessert Day, a celebration of the first wish ever granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.
On this celebratory date, all Cactus Club Cafe locations will be donating proceeds from all dessert sales to help grant Kristen’s wish. So, please visit a Cactus Club Cafe in BC or Alberta on Thursday, May 1st and enjoy a guilt free piece of our fresh in house made Key Lime Pie or a succulent Chocolate Lava Cake. Who thought satisfying your sweet tooth would bring a lifetime of joy to a young child?
