MUMBAI: Disney's once-in-a-lifetime fundraising event held aboard the Disney Magic cruise ship last night generated more than $1 million for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

After Disney CEO Michael Eisner presented the check to Make-A-Wish Foundation of America president and CEO David Williams, Disney president and COO and CEO-elect Bob Iger called upon Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse to present Williams with a surprise second check for $1 million dollars donated by the company.
 
 

The $2 million will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America and the Greater Los Angeles, Orange County and Inland Empire, Calif., chapters, helping them continue their mission of granting the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

In October, Disneyland will host the Make-A-Wish 25th Anniversary conference. Disney plans to host wish children from around the globe to join the anniversary celebration.
