Young Composer Gives Back to Make-A-Wish Foundation n 1989, the Make-A-Wish Foundation (an organization that grants wishes for children with serious illnesses) fulfilled the dream of a young cancer patient, Jetsun Jacobs, by sending him and his family to the Florida Keys to swim with the dolphins. Jetsun, now 18 years old, returned the favor when he was asked to compose a theme song and perform at the national Make-A-Wish conference in Orlando, FL last October.
