Chris Weekly Goes Philanthropic

You’ve heard of the Make-a-Wish Foundation, whereby terminally
ill children are granted wishes, which usually consist of meeting a celebrity or sports figure. While ours is still in the early stages of development, and certainly less honorable of a cause, Chris Weekly is proud to announce it has recently founded its own dream-fulfilling organization!

After many late meetings and much number-crunching, corporate recently gave the green light to The Make It Happen Foundation, which gives one lucky fan a chance to spend a long weekend with Chris, IN HIS HOME, and experience a typical weekend for him: the highs, the lows, the times of plenty and those of want. And after much consideration on the part of our editorial staff, we’ve decided to make inaugural FOC Peter B. from San Francisco our first participant in the Make It Happen program. Congratulations, Peter! Now listen to what you’ve won:

You’ll be flying in to the Washington D.C. metro area on your own dime, and staying at the posh Fairlington Villages on an air mattress on the floor. But wait, there’s more — in honor of CW’s commitment to making dreams come true for our readers, FV management is throwing in a top sheet and clean blanket at no charge. The Make It Happen package includes daily breakfast (Cheez-Its and Sunkist), a per diem of $7.16 for lunch (graciously donated by our production staff), dinner (a personal Totino’s Party Pizza, a Chris favorite!) and dessert (unlimited Flavor-Ice). Even your libations are covered; editorial is contributing its staff supply of Boone’s Farm (mixed berry), which it keeps in the supply room for “birthdays.” Additional highlights: low-cost showers and a de-mildewed towel. Your itinerary includes round-trip transportation into the city for sight-seeing during the day, and to the restaurant or club of your choice for dinner and late night revelry. CW has received (unconfirmed) reports that Chris himself will be picking you up from the airport, but we think it best to have a fitsky on hand for a cab.

Upon learning of the MIH program and his inaugural participation, Peter said:

“It just goes to show you that young people can make their dreams come true without lifting a finger. I’ve never been to DC and I’ve never been to Chris’s house. Now, thanks to Chris Weekly I can cross both of those off my Bucket List. Thanks, CW.”

We know you’re hesitant to believe us but we will have ample (and exclusive) coverage of Peter’s weekend here in Washington. He flies in next Thursday, July 3, so please check back with us that afternoon for more on this developing story.
