Chris Brown and Wantster to make sick kid’s wish come true

newnewWhen social site Wantster.com learned of Chris Brown’s support of the Kids Wish Network following a backlash of media reports of locals trying to boycott Brown from headlining the Energy Rush concert series, the company decided to get involved as a major sponsor.

Wantster is working with Kids Wish Network and Chris Brown to fulfill the want of a child who is battling a life threatening illness. “We wanted to check off “MEET CHRIS BROWN” from one lucky child’s want list by granting them an up close and personal meeting with Brown himself and VIP access to one of the concerts taking place in Halifax, Winnipeg or Toronto”, says Kathy Brewer, publicist for Wantster.
