Help support wishes during Erie Gives on August 13th!

For 24-hours, Erie Gives offers an opportunity for Erie County residents to give back to local nonprofits who are dedicated to bettering our community. This year, Make-A-Wish^® Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia invites you to support our mission by funding local wishes. Since 1983, our chapter has granted the wishes of more than 21,500 children living with critical illnesses.

Your kindness will help make wishes possible for wish kids like Jonah, who wished to go to Epic Universe at Universal Studios. Living with a life-threatening heart condition presents frightening challenges for Jonah and his family. But with the life-changing impact of a wish, hope can be restored and a childhood can be reclaimed. 

Online donations will be accepted from midnight to midnight, on Tuesday, August 12. To make your donation via check, please use the check donation form and deliver to The Erie Community Foundation no later than August 5.
