Make-A-Wish Colorado History
The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Colorado began in 1983 after seven-year-old Jennifer Mazak passed away from liver disease. Although Jennifer did not have a formal wish, she wanted to meet the KIMN Chicken radio mascot. When the KIMN Chicken was told of Jennifer's wish, he came to visit her at home.
