The concept of wishes coming true is central to the story of Disney’s Aladdin. This morning Will Smith, who plays The Genie of the Lamp in the new live-action adaption of Disney’s animated feature “Aladdin,” kicked off a new campaign that will raise money to help wishes come true for children battling critical life-threatening diseases. The #FriendLikeMe campaign aims to raise $1 million for the Make-A-Wish foundation.
All it takes to make like The Genie yourself and help grant a wish is to make a post to Twitter or Instagram with the #FriendLikeMe hashtag and state who you would share your three wishes with. For every public post on those platforms with #FriendLikeMe from April 29–May 24, 2019, Disney will donate $5, up to $1 million, to Make-A-Wish to help grant life-changing wishes all over the world.
Did you know the Make-A-Wish lounge at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is themed to Aladdin and The Genie? The #FriendLikeMe campaign is part of the Disney Team of Heroes commitment to deliver comfort and inspiration to families around the world. For more information, visit FriendLikeMe.org.
