      It's Saints fans and Colts fans united for a great cause at tonight's 4th annual Make A Wish Foundation Wish Bowl.

       Board Chairman Amber Brown says "We have definitley grown in number, it just keeps getting better and better, the event just keeps getting better and better, which is awesome because we get to grant more wishes."
       One of those wishes, for three year old Riley, who has a very interesting request.
       "This young man is just excited and thrilled to be around dolphins," says Bob Lewis, President of the East Tennessee foundation. "He was adamant for sure what he wanted to do on his wish was to not only visit but get the opportunity to swim with the dolphins."
       It's a wish that the foundation will make true tonight, with the help of Mocs coach Russ Huesman and a Chattanooga community that goes out of its way to care.
       "I get to go speak at a lot of different things and it's fun to go see how people come together to raise money to help different people throughout the community to raise money," says Huesman.
       Brown says, "chattanooga is the most incredible community we always have the most incredible support, so many awesome sponsors that always want to come out and support us that they are warm and loving neighbor and friends and we always have just a great helping hand."
       And hope that one wish can make a difference.
       "The whole reason we do this, granting a wish, is to give them hope for the future, medicine goes so far, and we like to get their mind in a good spirit and fight what they have and give them  the mental ability to be strong and carry on."
