Make A Wish Convoy 2014 On Mothers Day, the Make A Wish Foundation held it's 25th anniversary of the Make A Wish Convoy in Lancaster, PA. The event gives children with life-threatening illness the chance to ride along in various types of trucks from tractor trailers, dump trucks, classic cars and fire apparatus. The convoy takes the children through a good portion of Lancaster County and is roughly an hour long. Though the tractor trailers seem to be the majority of the convoy, many fire departments also participate in the event by either escorting a child or being there in support of the cause for the event and the foundation, which still allows them to be part of the convoy. The event started at 8 a.m. with clowns, food, a live band, and climbing in any truck they chose.
