To create awareness of their mission, Make-A-Wish had a snowman building contest this afternoon at Val Bialas opened to the community.

One area "Wish kid" says the Make-A-Wish Foundation helped him get through a tough battle with leukemia.

"It's probably important because it gives hope to people that have these kind of diseases. People will help you. I have some friends that have parents and stuff like that they had cancer and i tell them they can get through it and stuff like that," said 10-year-old Zach Ellingson.

A representative says the number of children the organization serves has doubled in the past year - and they're always looking for people to help the cause.

Make-A-Wish is looking to grant ninety wishes this year.
