Ollie C., 68, Gadsen, AL

While in Philadelphia, Clanton and his niece, Teresa Clanton,  attended the annual West Point Society of Philadelphia Founders Day Banquet on Saturday, June 7^th.   Twilight Wish founder Cass Forkin presented Clanton with a wish certificate honoring him for his service during the banquet. This wish was funded through Volpe & Koenig’s 2013 IPromise^TM Charitable Giving Fund (IPromise).  Twilight Wish was chosen as one of the two recipients of this annual grant in 2013.  Pictured, Ollie with Twilight Wish founder, Cass Forkin.
