Aubrey - I wish to be...a superhero!
Aubrey, code name Star, enjoys swimming, riding her bicycle and eating enchiladas! But the six-year old's true passion is being a superhero. The imagination of the Cole Elementary student came to life when the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Idaho, Windermere Real Estate and others orchestrated Aubrey's wish to be a superhero for a day. The wish day culminated on the steps of the capitol building where Aubrey successfully captured Black the villain. Aubrey and the Boise community are sure to remember Star and her heroic efforts for years to come!
