Today, the Wishing Well Group proudly granted the wish of 7th-grade student Aires Eimer-Bowden! Aires, who dreams of serving in the United States Army after graduation, requested a pair of tactical boots to help him begin preparing for the physical challenges of military training.

Thanks to the generosity of the Wishing Well Group and  Academy Sports + Outdoors in Springfield, MO, Aires received a brand-new pair of tactical boots and socks to help him take his first steps toward his future in the Armed Forces.
