Frank Shankwitz, Prescott's Hometown Legend, Founder of Make-A-Wish Foundation. A true gentleman and cowboy, an absolute honor to meet and know this man. Frank is a very down-to-earth person, kind, compassionate & honest. He established the Make-A-Wish Foundation by being inspired by Chris Greicius, a 7-year old boy diagnosed with luekemia. Chris had always dreamed of being a police officer. on May 2 1980, Frank (DPS motor officer) granted Chris' wish by presenting Chris with his motorcycle wings! After realizing how happy granting this wish made Chris, Frank had the desire to continue to do the same for other children who are diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. Make-A-Wish Foundation was established as a 501 c3 in 11/1980, more information at,
