SWEETWATER COUNTY — The annual Make-A-Wish fundraiser is back and both the Rock Springs and Green River communities are working hard to try and raise as much as possible to help grant wishes to children who face life-threatening illnesses.

Students at Rock Springs High School along with local businesses have collaborated to bring opportunities to the public to donate. All proceeds will go to the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Of course, there are bragging rights on the line for whichever town raises the most money. But more importantly, the more money raised the more wishes can be granted to Wyoming children.
