9-year-old boy sells snow cones for good cause

Most 9-year-olds go to the pool and play with friends during summer vacation. But Maddox Murakami has other plans this summer. He’s the operator of Maddox Sno-Cones.

He’s not saving up for a new soccer ball or other personal projects. He’s taking his time this summer to do something for those in need. He’s partnering with Make-A-Wish Colorado and donating to the foundation.

Maddox says he cares about helping other children through Make-A-Wish.

“It’s just a nonprofit that helps kids, and I just want to help other kids, too,” he said.
