On November 9, 2009, Al Harris is proud to be hosting the inaugural "Wishing on Stars" celebrity serve. The event will serve as an introduction to his new foundation, the Harris Family Foundation, which he and his wife recently established. The Harris Family Foundation’s mission is two-fold. One major goal is to help raise awareness and support for children affected by Crohn's disease, and the other is to support much-needed youth programs in Broward County, Florida, where Harris was raised.
