THE MAKE-A-WISH Foundation of Maine raised more than $120,000 and granted a wish at its annual auction fundraiser last month at the Woodlands Club in Falmouth. Jacob, a 16-year-old from Kennebec County who has been fighting cancer, was granted his wish for an ATV. More than 200 people attended the event, including employees of NewPage Mill in Rumford, who raised $12,000, which helped pay for Jacob’s wish and another wish.
