Green’ s Garage Annual Holiday Party Raises Record High for Make-A-Wish
When you walk into Bob Green’ s vintage car garage in Orwigsburg, Pa., you may feel like you’ ve stumbled into a bygone era. From the countless classic cars to the nostalgic signage and vintage décor, the only thing that shines brighter than the polish on these cherished artifacts is the Green family’ s passion for supporting Make-A-Wish.
Linda Pauling
The annual fundraiser was started by Bob’ s late wife, Judy, and is now hosted and organized by him and his adult children Kyrsten and Jordan, with countless members of the Schuylkill County community and beyond attending to support the cause. This year’ s event was held on Dec. 8, 2025, and guests perused the classic collections while enjoying food and drinks, live entertainment, a raffle and silent auction and an incredible live auction.
Wish kid Jaxon
But the real treat was when the crowd quieted to listen to wish kid Jaxon and his dad tell their life-changing wish story. When they were finished, a surprise guest took to the stage— Linda Pauling, who co-founded Make-A-Wish in April of 1980 after her community came together to grant the wish of her son, Chris Grecius.
The night ended with a stunning, record total of $ 550,000 raised for local wishes.
