When Upper Merion Area Middle School assigned a hero project for the 7th and 8th graders, Katy chose The Make-A-Wish Foundation®. Katy chose Make-A-Wish® as her hero because of the great things we do for local children who are going through a difficult time. Gretchen had a wonderful time speaking to Katy’s parents and the students at the school about what we do at Make-A-Wish®.

Thank you Katy for such kind words about our organization!

The Middle Atlantic Conference Student Athlete Advisory Committee (MAC SAAC) set a goal in 2011 for each school in the conference to raise $500 for The Make-A-Wish Foundation®.

Widener University’s Student Athlete Advisory Committee (WU SAAC), a group of approximately 45 students representing all of the sports offered at Widener, decided to meet that goal by selling Widener Pride magnets from December 2011 to January 2012 with all proceeds going to The Make-A-Wish Foundation®

When the totals were in, not only did they meet the goal of $500, they exceeded it by 800% raising a grand total of $4,480!
