The wish was supposed to be granted last September, but then Dylan Sanchez took ill and spent a month in the hospital. But things are better now. Things are looking much brighter.
Sanchez is the Palo Verde High senior who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2024. The one who’s now going to Hawaii with his family.
The Athletics are underwriting the cost of Sanchez’s dream, which was made known to him last week by Make-A-Wish Nevada in a ceremony complete with a Hawaiian-themed party and Stomper, the A’s mascot.
“These kinds of moments are pretty special to be part of with Make-A-Wish,” A’s president Marc Badain said. “It’s something the organization has always supported throughout its years in the Bay Area and is now excited to make that connection coming here.
“We’ve been on the ground for the last couple years and you’ve seen our efforts. We’ll continue to do a lot of things as we get closer to opening the ballpark and then once we’re here, having players and coaches and the entire organization will make it a lot easier to be present.”
