Dear Friends and Family,
The students at Meiklejohn Elementary are working together with Ralston Valley High School to raise money for Make-A-Wish Colorado to help grant wishes for children with critical illnesses. It’s truly amazing what wishes can do. A wish renews hope, uplifts spirits, and encourages belief in the impossible.
Make-A-Wish Colorado was founded in 1983 in memory of 7-year-old Jennifer Mazak, who had liver disease. Jennifer loved listening to the radio and dreamed of meeting her favorite station’s mascot, the KIMN Chicken. Her mom, Joan, teamed up with her friends and coworkers to make her daughter’s wish come true!
Inspired by the impact Jennifer’s experience had on herself and her entire community, Joan founded the Colorado chapter of Make-A-Wish in Jennifer’s memory. Forty years later, more than 6,350 Colorado kids have experienced the hope and strength of a wish come true.
Together, we can grant more wishes for kids across the state. Please donate today.
