WHAT WE DID

Blue Lightning is the story of Joseph, an 11-year old boy suffering from Hodgkin’s Lymphoma who wished for a basketball court in his backyard. Joseph is a huge NBA fan along with his brother Anthony. While following Joseph’s story, an unexpected donor with ties to the NBA surprises the brothers with an experience of a lifetime.

When the court is finished, Make-A-Wish Suffolk County unveils it at a reveal party along with 100+ people in the community to share in Joseph’s joy. This story gives us a front row seat to what it’s like to plan a wish at the Make-A-Wish office in Ronkonkoma, New York.
