Wauconda Family and Jim Oberweis Team Up to Help the Make-A-Wish Foundation

Sugar Grove, IL – What began as an entry into a drawing for a new bike has ended up as a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation thanks to the Fladhammer family and Jim Oberweis.

A little girl named Gracie Fladhammer entered the Oberweis Dairy bike raffle at the Lake County Fair. She said she was going to win when she entered, and sure enough she did.  Gracie entered the contest with the intention of donating the bike to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Gracie has a non-curable illness (Primary Immune Deficiency, PI), and she has participated in a Make-A-Wish Foundation trip, and so she wanted to show her support and gratitude to the organization by donating the bike to the organization.

“We got a call from Dayna and Brian, Gracie’s parents, and they explained how Gracie wanted to donate the bike and how she wanted to know if the Oberweis Foundation would also make a donation.

“Here you have this girl with an incurable disease, and her first thought when she won a bike, and really before she even entered the contest, was to think about other kids.  I was honored to be a part of her generous donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.”

  1. Maybe Oberweis will donate one of his kidneys for the kid, too.

  2. If Ober-boy continues on these inane PR stunts, lamely attempting to appeal to effeminate emotions, I may switch my vote to Marter.

  3. Gracie’s parents should be extremely proud.

    Did the Oberweis Foundation make an additional donation on Gracie’s behalf?

  4. Underwood should be the target, not Jim O.

    She is soooooooo toxic.

    And her comment that she’s the Congressmanwoman of a bunch of Red State losers is pretty pathetic.

  5. As a Blue State loser (living in Ill.) I’ll take Red State losers any day of the week.
