We started this fundraiser to help grant wishes for children with critical illnesses. Community engagement is a core value of NCAA Division II, and the passion for giving back runs deep for our student-athletes. That’s why we support Make-A-Wish® to help grant wishes to children with critical illnesses. Wish kids are some of the bravest and sweetest kids you'll ever know. They wish to work in a pickle factory, become a superhero, go snorkeling, give their baseball team new uniforms, and push all of the buttons in a tall building's elevator. Their innocence and unexpected wisdom stays with you.
At Tusculum, our Student Athlete Advisory Committee is heaily invovled with Make-A-Wish and all that they do. We host yearly fundraising events to ensure we hit our goal of $5,000 every year. Our 2 major events are: Pack the Arena Night and Make-A-Wish 5k Run/Walk.
A wish come true helps children feel stronger, more energetic, more willing and able to battle their critical illnesses. For many, the wish marks a turning point in the fight against their illnesses. Doctors, nurses and other health professionals say, the wish experience works in concert with medicine to make their patients feel better emotionally and even physically. That is why wishes matter.
We are fundraising so more courageous kids and their families can know the happiness, relief and renewal a wish can bring. Please help by donating today.
