Bring Meaning to the Season With the Make-A-Wish Foundation...December 1st, 2008.
The holidays are right around the corner, and in the coming weeks, there are many exciting fundraisers and shopping promotions throughout the state which will help bring hope, strength and joy to
Connecticut children battling life-threatening medical conditions. Here’s how you can help:
In November, don’t miss the Make-A-Wish® Benefit Concert in New London on November 16th and the first-ever “Greenwich Gift Show” at the Greenwich Country Club on November 21st. Throughout the month of December, keep your ears open for “The Rock” 106.9 WCCC Annual Radiothon. Also be sure to stop by Madison Chrysler’s Annual Toy Drive and Star Fundraiser, or sign-up for the “Winter Jam” Camp of Rock held by the Music Bureau of Salem on December 26th, 29th and 30th. All events will raise funds to help make wishes come true. Please visit www.ct.wish.org/events.php for more details.
Throughout the “season of giving,” our national sponsors are making wishes come true from coast to coast, and they need your support here in Connecticut. Be sure to stop by your local Macy’s for the annual Thanks for Sharing® Campaign. This rewards program is available to Macy’s cardholders and gives them the opportunity to earn 10 percent back on their holiday purchases at Macy’s while benefitting the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Things Remembered stores have teamed up to make wishes come true, once again. When you shop at any Things Remembered location, you can make a donation to the Foundation or purchase items from their line of Make-A-Wish® gifts. Choose from a collectible ornament, a holiday snow globe, a scented candle, a musical box or a star keepsake box. All of these items can be personalized to make this holiday unforgettable. Don't miss out on something sweet from Ghirardelli Chocolate this holiday season. They are featuring the Make-A-Wish Foundation® logo on their baking bars and chips, as well a limited edition "Wish Star" Chocolate Cookie. Be sure to do your entertainment shopping at Game Stop. For every gift card purchased during the holiday season, Game Stop will make a donation to the Make-A-Wish® Foundation.
If you’re strapped for time with holiday shopping, consider giving an extra meaningful gift to your loved one: make a donation in his/her honor in lieu of a present. Simply send your donation to 126 Monroe Turnpike,
Trumbull, CT
06611 or call us at 877-203-WISH.
There are countless ways YOU can celebrate the season with the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. For more suggestions, contact us at conn@ct.wish.org. Happy Holidays!
