Walk for Wishes helps enrich children’s lives
The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central & Western North Carolina held its 2nd Annual Walk For Wishes April 18 at beautiful Proehlific Park in Greensboro.
We were able to raise more than $20,000, which will allow us to grant several wishes for children in the Triad. The great success of this event is due to a terrific support by our dedicated volunteers, corporate sponsors and donors.
Our mission is to grant wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. The average cost of a wish is $6,000, making events like this essential to ensure every child can have their wish fulfilled.
Since the founding of our chapter in 1985 by Greensboro’s Dr. Jerry Clark, more than 2,000 wishes have been granted. Sharing the power of a wish is an awesome experience for everyone involved.
We hope you will join and/or support us for our Third Annual Walk for Wishes in the spring of 2010. To learn more, please visit our Web site, www.ncwish.org, or contact Triad Director Don Timmons at (336) 403-1964.

What is the ratio of greed from an Irving Park brat to a Smith Homes refugee?
