for Wish Kids

The Make-A-Wish
Foundation(R) coordinates a program, Kids For Wish
Kids, in local schools that give students the opportunity to
sponsor wishes. Kids For Wish Kids
is an extremely popular program for kids because it is managed by the kids. They are responsible for forming the committee, coming up with fund-raising ideas and carrying them out.
Teachers and parents often serve as advisors, but ownership of the group belongs solely to the kids involved. |
|
The Kids For Wish Kids program helps to increase awareness of the Make-A-Wish Foundation's mission and involves more people in helping to grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical
conditions.
Kids For Wish
Kids does much more than that. It fosters the value
of community service
by providing kids with hands-on experience in
helping to grant wishes
through their local chapter. It also provides a
mechanism for building school spirit and creating additional partnerships between children and teachers outside of the classroom.
The opportunities available for fund-raising activities through the
Kids For Wish Kids program are endless. Anything from a bake sale
or penny war, to a dance marathon, or student/teacher basketball
game - it's all up to their imagination.
To find out how your school can become involved,
please contact Sally Whitehorn.
