Make-A-Wish Calls on Families Across North Carolina to Continue Holiday Tradition through Fundraising Activation
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 18, 2021 -- This holiday season, Make-A-Wish® is calling on families across the state to once again come together through Families For Wishes, a fundraising campaign aimed at delivering hope and joy to children fighting critical illnesses.
Communities of families and friends can create their own unique Families For Wishes fundraising page at wish.org/nc/families and raise funds to help grant local life-changing wishes.
Families For Wishes provides a new approach to fundraising by inviting individuals near and far to leverage technology to come together and give back.
"A child's wish begins with hope, and hope begins with you," said Kathy Jetton, President and CEO of Make-A-Wish Central & Western North Carolina. "By creating a Families For Wishes page and donating to Make-A-Wish Central & Western North Carolina this holiday season, you and your family can join us in bringing joy back into a the lives of local children."
Signing up is as easy as one-two-three:

- Create a family fundraising page, add a picture and begin fundraising!
The Families For Wishes activation will make it possible for more wish kids like 3-year old Kashton to experience the power of a wish. Kashton's wish to be a firefighter delivered hope as he recovered from battling with leukemia. "Make-A-Wish became a safe haven during the hardest time in our lives. Wishes are important for critically-ill children because it gives their family something to hold on to. The promise of getting to be a firefighter kept Kashton fighting for his life," said Jillian, Kashton's mom.
