Frank was one of the primary officers from the Arizona Highway Patrol who was responsible for granting the "wish" of a 7-year old boy with leukemia, who wanted to be a Highway Patrol Motorcycle Officer like his heroes, Ponch and John from the television show, "CHiPs". Chris was made the first and only Honorary Arizona Highway Patrol Officer in the history of the Arizona Highway Patrol, complete with a custom made uniform, badge, and Motor Officer Wings. Chris succumbed to his illness a few days after receiving his "wish", and was buried with full police honors in Illinois, with Frank leading the police funeral procession. Chris was the inspiration for Frank's idea to start a non-profit foundation that would let children 'make a wish' and have it come true.

Some of the main sponsors for this event are:  Fisher Nut Company, The Sanfilippo Foundation, The 1 Wine Company, Classic NY Beer, Timmy Woods Handbags and others.
