Thursday morning, ABC’s Good Morning America marked Disney’s 100th anniversary by teaming up with Make-a-Wish to celebrate 100 transformational wishes. The multimonth effort for Disney100 kicked off with a surprise for an 8-year-old who battled cancer over the past year and will see 100 wishes fulfilled and shared on GMA through December.

In 1981, Disney granted the first official wish to Frank “Bopsy” Salazar at the Disneyland Resort. Now, over 40 years later, Disney has grown this relationship, granting its 150,000th wish this year.
