Dunder Mifflin makes a wish come true

“Visiting offices isn’t usually high on wish kids’ lists. Unless, of course, you’re talking about the office of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company — the setting for NBC’s hit comedy The Office. Sixteen-year-old Anna wanted to visit this office more than any place else in the world …”

   What a great story. Wow, BJ is so sweet- it’s kind of a shock after seeing him playing an a-hole for so many months!

   Just another reason the cast of The Office is the greatest in the history of the universe.

   My daughter is a Make a Wish child. The organization works so hard to make each child’s wish very special. Anna seems like a sweetheart and knowing her wish was made so extra special for her touches my heart. The people from The Office are amazing and kudos to the Make A Wish Foundation!

   As a cancer survivor myself, having been in remission for 15+ years and very familiar with the great work Make-A-Wish does, this was fantastic to read. Definitely got teared up.

   Anna, congrats! You just made MY wish come true, too!

   I agree, #17 MNFan. That was such a sweet story! And she and BJ still keep in touch-awwwww. I hope she gets into USC–that’s a great place to be if you want to go into the entertainment business!

   How sweet. My brother was a wish kid many years ago and we went to Disney World. I always treasure the memories from that trip – I hope this family feels the same way about their “Office” visit! :)

    I’m always so touched by all the stories from Make-A-Wish foundation. I teared up reading this! I am an assistant (to the.. hehe) manager at a Coldstone Creamery and once a year we have a day where the local Make-A-Wish kids come in and hang out with the local Las Vegas (or Hawaii… I worked at two stores) celebrities. I almost never make it through work without crying on those days because those kids are so special and they have so much to offer the world. Thanks for posting this, it was heartwarming.

    As funny and talented as “The Office” cast and crew are, I can honestly say they are even better people than they are actors. And that’s saying a lot! Stories like this just prove what a special group the folks on “The Office” are.

    Tanster, I so appreciate the tireless work you do in keeping us informed of all things Office. This story makes me love the show even more than I already did.

    [from tanster: my pleasure. :) ]

    I literally had tears in my eyes seeing her pictures with all of the cast. That is so sweet of them to do that.

    That’s a heck of a wish. My sister’s wish when she was sick was a trip to the Mall of America. I was 13 at the time, so you can imagine how that was for me :P Thankfully, my sister has long been cancer-free and healthy.

    That was wonderful; I got tears in my eyes. What a sweet girl! The people involved in The Office are an amazing group. They’re so down to earth and big hearted that it’s astonishing.

    How cool is that? This is what sets this show apart from the others.

    This article was incredibly touching. You can just tell that the cast and crew are some of the most down-to-earth, humble people in Hollywood. I like. . .”so much about the things that you choose to be!” (Casino Night) Yay to The Office!

    As much as I love the television show “The Office,” I know my interest (a.k.a. obsession) wouldn’t be NEARLY as much if the people associated with the show weren’t as gracious and caring as they are!

    Thank you, cast and crew, for making this girl’s dream come true. You are amazing. :)
