Video: Wishes On Wheels Truck Convoy Passes Through Connecticut

Dozens of cars lined Interstate-84 in Connecticut on Sunday morning to welcome the Wishes On Wheels Truck Convoy as it passed through Connecticut in an effort to raise awareness for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Hundreds of trucks lead by law enforcement blew their horns enthusiastically as they drove past exits and overpasses filled with onlookers supporting their mission; some waving American flags in celebration of this year's theme: Patriotic USA.

In its 13th year, Wheels for Wishes raises money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Connecticut through its car donation program.

Over the past 12 years, Wheels for Wishes has raised approximately $690,000 to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation grant wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses in Connecticut, according to a post on the Make-A-Wish Connecticut Facebook page.

"The Wishes On Wheels, Inc. committee would like to thank all our loyal and passionate sponsors, volunteers, Make-A-Wish Families, and participants for making Wishes On Wheels more successful than we ever dreamed," read a statement on its official Facebook page.
