SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Super Bowl 50 will be hosting some very special guests. Fourteen Make-A-Wish children will get to enjoy the entire game in person Sunday afternoon.

They got a chance to meet several NFL players at an event in San Francisco Thursday night.

"I didn't know what teams were going, and I knew my team was going to make it so I wished for it," Matthew said.

"I'm really excited. I'm probably not going to be sleeping for the next couple of days. I'm just going to be like Super Bowl! Super Bowl! Super Bowl!" T.J. White said.

Sunday will certainly be a day none of the kids will soon forget but even more important is that T.J. and Matthew are both in remission.
