CROWN POINT
Wishes granted: CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts of Northwest Indiana recently held a charity golf outing benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana–Indiana Region at Youche Country Club in Crown Point. The event generated $18,000 to grant three wishes. The first wish was for Matt, an 8-year-old boy from Hobart whose wish was to visit Florida theme parks. Jacob, 6, also from Hobart, will take a Walt Disney Cruise with his family. Prestin, an 11-year-old LaPorte boy, will swim with the dolphins.
