Brendan Haas came up with a pretty cool way to give back to military families. Inspired by the famous story of the guy who through a long chain of Craigslist trades was able to turn a paperclip into a house, a nine-year old launched what he called the “Soldier for a Soldier” initiative. Starting with a toy soldier, Haas kept trading up until he amassed $900 worth of Disney gift certificates, airfare and hotel credits.

Thank you for supporting K-Bear's Make-A-Wish Radio-A-Thon on Valentine's Day! Your donations totaled about $9,000 cash and 10,000 airline miles. We enjoyed meeting all of our "Wish" kids. Their families had great stories of success and heartache too. It seemed what everybody ended up saying was, "If it wasn't for Make-A-Wish, I don't know what we would have done".
