Seven wheelchair-bound seniors from Neshaminy Manor in Warrington were treated to a great day of Phillies baseball at Citizens Bank Park, complete with hot dogs and cheese steaks, thanks to local charity Twilight Wish Foundation and the Phillies organization. The seven residents, along with their Neshaminy Manor caretakers and staff from Twilight Wish, enjoyed a great game Thursday, June 12, 2014 as the Phillies swept the Padres in the series. According to Kathy Bates, Director of Recreation at Neshaminy Manor, all seven seniors are huge Phillies fans and watch every game faithfully. Because they are wheelchair-bound and have limited spending money, being able to leave the facility and attend a Phillies game is a huge treat for them. None of the seniors had ever been to Citizens Bank Park before and thoroughly enjoyed their day at the ballpark! Twilight Wish Foundation is a national nonprofit charitable organization whose mission is to honor and enrich the lives of deserving elders through wish granting celebrations that connect generations. Since its founding in 2003, Twilight Wish has granted over 2,150 individual wishes to seniors throughout the U.S. Twilight Wish grants wishes to seniors who are 68 and older or a permanent resident of a nursing home and earn less than 200% of poverty level.
