Since Tina is a performer, she asked to go to the Grammy\u2019s and in 2013 her wish was granted. In addition, due to her connection to the organization, Tina was asked to sing the National Anthem at the 2011 Poinsettia Bowl to a standing ovation only two months after she finished her treatment. She\u2019s been officially in remission for three years now, and Make-A-Wish was instrumental in her recovery and, frankly, uplifting for our entire family,\u201d said Peterson. \u201cSince that time, Tina has performed the Anthem for Make-A-Wish at a Padres game, at the team luncheon for the Poinsettia Bowl in 2013 and at a recent Make-A-Wish fundraiser called Tuna Challenge. She has also performed several pop songs on stage at the organization\u2019s \u201cRoll Out the Barrel\u201d fundraiser on the Humphrey\u2019s stage in 2013 and 2014 and at the Oceanside Amphitheater for another Make-A-Wish fundraiser last year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the entire family has gotten involved in Make-A-Wish. Tina has become an unofficial Make-A-Wish \u201cambassador\u201d and is presently an intern in their wish granting department while studying business and music at San Diego State University. Wife Kim Peterson is a founding member of the organization\u2019s \u201cWish Circle\u201d a group of women who have organized to raise money to fund additional wishes for Make A Wish San Diego. Last April, Jim was elected to the Make-A-Wish Foundation San Diego Board of Directors and is the only \u201cwish parent\u201d currently doing so. Tina\u2019s older sister, Danielle, also volunteers for the organization as a \u201cwish granter\u201d and in various other capacities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Peterson family embodies giving back, and we\u2019re so fortunate to have them as part of the Make-A-Wish Family,\u201d said Chris Sichel, President and CEO at Make-A-Wish San Diego. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to have Tina as one of most active young volunteers. Their story is inspiring and one that gives hope to so many of our wish kids. They are most deserving of this award!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Partner Jim Peterson and his family were recently named the 2014 Make-A-Wish San Diego\u2019s \u201cFriends and Family\u201d honoree. &nbsp;
