Sbga Helps and Make-A-Wish Partnership Young Man
Visits FC Barcelona Player Lionel Messi
1888 Press Release - Nathan Jurczyk and Sbga
partner with Make-A-Wish Foundation to help make
a young man's wish trip bring him and his family
memories that they will always hold close to
their hearts. Being diagnosed with a
life-threatening illness can put an indefinite
time-out on a young adult's life. One minute
their days are spent going to school, finishing
homework, and hanging out with friends the next
they're filled with doctor visits, medication
schedules, and treatment days. Alfredo was an
all-star soccer player at his high school when he
was suddenly diagnosed with a life-threatening
illness that put his game on hold, but it doesn't
mean that he's out of the game forever. Supported
by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, reminders of
strength, love, and support carry brave fighters
like Alfredo until they're back in the
competition. Born into a family of soccer
fanatics, Alfredo grew up with a deep love for
the sport. During matches, he always roots for FC
Barcelona and his favorite player, Lionel Messi.
"We both have similar experiences of hard times,"
Alfredo explained, referring to the player's
growth hormone deficiency. When it came time for
Alfredo to make his most heartfelt wish, Alfredo
asked for the one thing any soccer fan would
love to meet his favorite player in his home
town of Barcelona, Spain! After a long flight,
Alfredo and his family made their way to the
Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper where the FC
Barcelona soccer team practices and Alfredo had
the opportunity to talk with Lionel Messi. The
next few days of his wish vacation were filled
with trips to the FC Barcelona Stadium and
Museum, finishing out with tickets to a Barcelona
match where Alfredo got to watch his favorite
player up close.

"When you think of the kids from the Make-A-Wish
Foundation, it's easy to get trapped in the idea
that these children and young adults are missing
out on life, but that couldn't be further from
the truth," Vice President of SBGA Nathan Jurczyk
explained. "I have never met more individuals
full of excitement and hope despite their
situation. Talking to kids like Alfredo makes you
want to be a better person. We're proud as a
corporation to partner with organizations like
the Make-A-Wish Foundation that bring joy to
these young people." Alfredo's wish marks the
59th wish granted through the partnership with
the Make-a-Wish Foundation. About the Small
