Dec. 28, 2012 - PRLog -- The 2013 Wish-A-Thon is a new all-day charitable event hosted by Dallas Cowboys great, "The Original 88", Drew Pearson. The public is invited to join Pearson and his co-hosts Paul Salfen, Michael Nast and Mayra Leal as they break a YouTube record by broadcasting the longest YouTube LIVE event ever while they film for FOX Sports Southwest. "Our goal is simple," stated Jim Proctor of Dodge City of McKinney. "We want to raise enough money to grant not just one, but several wishes for 2013".

“Everyone is excited to be part of the very first wish that will be granted in 2013," stated Entertainment Director and co-host Paul Salfen. “I am also excited to see who is coming out for the red carpet and who will grab a seat with Drew on set. I understand there is a long list of celebrities including my beautiful co-host, actress Mayra Leal (Machete), that will join us for this very special day.” Leal and the owner of Dodge City of McKinney, Gus Rodriguez, will bring a couple segments with celebrity guests in Spanish.

There will be celebrities in and out all day from Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Mavericks, Texas Rangers, Dallas Stars and many more. At noon, fans can catch Heisman Trophy winner Tim Brown, amongst other football greats including Cowboys; Drew Pearson (Host) Billy Joe Dupree, Everson Walls, Charles Haley, Randy "Manster" White, Bill Bates, John Jay Saldi IV, Kevin Craig Brooks and Bucs/Jets Damien Robinson. Fans will also run across a few well-known Actors and Grammy Award-winning artists, too . Also included in the schedule for visits are mayors of Frisco, McKinney, Allen and Plano and Mandy S. Williams and her #19 Make-A-Wish Ferrari. Other guest include world champion weightlifter Amanda Harris, Texas Ranger and Head Coach of Texas Wesleyan University Baseball Mike Jeffcoat, Actor Models Mayra Leal, Drew Waters and many more. All this wouldn’t be complete without entertainment. Attendees can enjoy live music with local rock and roll favorites Midnight Empire with special guest Robotix and a DJ will also be on hand. FREE food and beverages will be available into the night from local area restaurant sponsors. Enjoy a moment with local artist Richard Nunez Richard will be onsite painting LIVE to help Make-A-Wish North Texas.

"God Bless Make-A-Wish North Texas for their efforts to continually grant the incredible wishes of young children in need of hope and encouragement," said Pearson. "It's also important to point out that Jim Proctor of Dodge City of McKinney recognizes the importance of giving back to their community. Make-A-Wish is an organization that we all need to support wholeheartedly. They help bring hope and joy to the area children that we all live, work and worship with every day."

A couple of ways the public can help The 2013 Wish-A-Thon meet its goal of $50,000 is by donating online or coming by January 2nd, 2013 to Dodge City of McKinney to support the event. Make-A-Wish representatives will be on hand helping the The Wish-A-Thon collect funds as well as a silent auction with several great authentic memorabilia from football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer and rock and roll.
