Hillsborough Brothers to Light Tree at Hyatt Holiday Event

Two Hillsborough boys, brothers Alex and Jordan, share the same life-threatening medical condition and have both received a wish from Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area.

Alex, 8, has Primary Immune Deficiency, and his wish was to watch Ralphie, the mascot for the University of Colorado’s football team and a real buffalo, run around the field before a football game.

His younger brother Jordan, 4, had a wish to go to Disney World and meet Mickey Mouse. Both boys' wishes came true earlier this year.

Today, Alex and Jordan will also be the guests of honor at a tree-lighting ceremony at Hyatt Regency San Francisco at 7pm.

In addition to being able to flip the switch for the 45-foot tall tree, Alex and Jordan will help Make-A-Wish receive a jumbo check from Hyatt for their Swing For Wishes Golf Tournament.

Other participants in the tree lighting ceremony will be The San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus, The Smuin Ballet, T4Tango, Santa and Scrooge! Free and open to the public.
