THE SPOT
The :30 "Every Boy’s Wish" opens with images of a young boy’s sneakers slowly walking on a gravel path. The boy walks up to a fountain and flips a coin into the water, as a man’s voiceover states that as a boy he didn’t wish for castles or to be a cowboy or an astronaut, but instead to live in a place where grownups could be counted on and where kids could grow up to live normal lives. The PSA ends with the boy’s dad walking up to the youngster and ruffling his hair while gazing down at him, and the tagline "A home for children in need."
