Each year, as part of the Jason Schweinberg Memorial Golf Classic, the Schweinberg’s make a wish come true for a child that is courageously battling CHD. Understanding how CHD’s affect the entire family, both financially and emotionally, they wish to put a smile on the child’s face and bring something special into these family’s lives.
Kyle's Wish
Kyle was born with Tricuspid Atresia and was informed by his doctors that he would not be allowed to participate in contact sports.
The Schweinberg’s also contacted the WWE who supplied autographed photos, posters, and other items, as well as a card written to Kyle and signed by all the wrestlers.
Kyle was interested in learning to golf and loves the WWE.(World Wrestling Entertainment). He was presented with custom golf clubs along with all accessories (bag, shoes, hat, shirt, balls, tees, towels,) to get him started.
Kyle continues to take golf lessons this year and will also play a 9 hole course once a week.
David's Wish
David was born with Tetrology of Fallot. His first and only repair to date was successful and his defect is not considered life threatening.
The Schweinberg’s made it possible for David to meet Nascar's Kasey Kahne and share the stage with him during Kasey Kahne Day in their hometown of Enumclaw, WA.
David says he is Kasey's # 1 fan and tells everyone he can how he got to be on stage with Kasey.

David wanted to visit Legoland. With the help of Legoland, Seaworld, and the Kasey Kahne Foundation, David and his family enjoyed an all expenses paid five-day California vacation.
David hopes to return to Legoland again someday.

Ben's Wish
As the Child Honoree for 2006, the Schweinbergs presented Ben with a Grave Digger Power Wheels Monster Truck and a trip to Disney World and all of it's parks.
Ben's family waited until the Spring of 2007 to make sure Ben had fully recovered from his surgery.
Ben and his family enjoyed a week visiting the Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, and MGM Studios.

MGM Studios was a big hit for Ben and family. They enjoyed meeting many characters and eating at the Pizza Planet from Toy Story.
The ULTIMATE payoff: Ben got to meet the Power Rangers. Not Once, but twice!!!
Ben was born with Pulmonary Atresia with Intact
Ventricular Septum, severe Tricuspid stenosis, and Hypoplastic Right Ventricle. Ben had his 3rd open heart surgery, the Fontan, in November 2006.
