Toyota Material Handling North America made a wish come true for a 12-year-old Indianapolis boy fighting cancer, welcoming the young man as CEO for the day.

About 300 employees lined the hallways of Toyota Material Handling North America’s facility in Columbus on Wednesday morning awaiting the arrival of a black limousine.

The employees, many of whom wielding plastic, light-up light sabers, were ready to welcome a special guest to the company’s facility — Michael Haley, who has a rare form of brain cancer.

Officials from Toyota Material Handling, along with representatives from Make-A-Wish Foundation, brought Michael, his parents Joe and Melissa and his three younger siblings, Henry, Clare and Joey, from Indianapolis to the Columbus Toyota headquarters to make Haley “CEO for the day” and grant his wish to go with his family to the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas.
