Light Up A Child's Life is the annual end-of-year fundraising campaign that helps to fund the wishes waiting to be fulfilled the following year. Your support ensures all local children that qualify for a wish can benefit from the strength, hope and joy that only a wish can bring.
This year, Light Up A Child's Life, presented by Rebich Investments, is expanding! In addition to our annual radio campaign with Star 104, we have partnered with the Erie Otters and Rebich Investments to raise more funds, grant more wishes and encourage holiday cheer throughout the community.
You can participate in many ways:
Attend the Make-A-Wish Erie Otters Hockey Game
On Friday, December 15th, Make-A-Wish will be featured as the Non-Profit of the Night with the Erie Otters! We have 100 tickets available for purchase here and 100% of these funds will go towards our mission. If these are sold out, we welcome you to attend the game by purchasing tickets through the Otters. We will have a wish experience on ice prior to puck drop and many other activities going on throughout the evening. You OTTER be there!
Write a Letter to Santa
Rebich Investments will be donating $1 for all letters to Santa received from December 1st-23rd, up to $7,500. You can mail your letter to the Erie office at 717 Indiana Drive, Erie, PA 16505, or drop it off at any of the December Erie Otters games. We will also be participating in community events in December, including Downtown d'Lights on December 1st, for community members to write and drop off letters.
Know a school or group that would be interested in having their students write letters? Contact Courtney Nientimp at cnientimp@greaterpawv.wish.org or (814) 868-9474 to learn more.
Tune in to Star 104 on December 15th from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Erie Regional Manager, Courtney Nientimp, will be live on-air with Jessica Curry all day on Friday, December 15th. Throughout the day you will hear heartwarming stories of children, families, volunteers and supporters of Make-A-Wish.
Donate Today
This holiday season, give wish kids a gift unlike any other. The average cost of a wish is $5,000 and with more than 15 children waiting in the Erie area, your gift matters now more than ever.
No matter how you choose to support this campaign and the mission of Make-A-Wish, we thank you for helping bring strength, hope and joy to local children facing critical illnesses this holiday season.
