Wish Kicks Charity Auction Benefiting Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley

Support page thumb

Born in India and raised in New York, wish kid Tunav learned the value of strength, persistence, and positivity from his hardworking parents.

These lessons helped him overcome a battle against leukemia and as a Make-A-Wish® recipient, Tunav’s passion for art and storytelling lead him to an opportunity of a lifetime. In 2016, Tunav was granted his wish to go to sneaker camp in Portland, OR to design his own shoe with the team at Pensole and Adidas.

Tunav says, "While battling leukemia, my wish was to design my own pair of shoes, now I’m able to help other kids in similar circumstances receive their own wish."


Now cancer free, Tunav wants to pay it forward and help raise funds to grant 9 wishes for Make-A-Wish. From April 15 - May 3 you can place your bid on his one-of-kind sneaker in a limited run, the aim is to generate funds towards granting wishes. While at the same time highlighting wish stories filled with hope and positivity.
