Hi Everyone!
My name is Nicole Ryczek, and I am a member of the Alpha Lambda chapter of Chi Omega at Valparaiso University. Chi Omega's national philanthropy is the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which is a non-profit organization that helps fulfill the wishes of children with a critical illness.
This year, we were blessed to receive the opportunity to fundraise for our own wish kid, Jessa. She is an 10, almost 11, and is diagnosed with leukemia. Some fun facts about her include:
Her favorite snacks are: Smarties and Goldfish
She loves: Taylor Swift, singing, reading and writing, building snowmen and playing games
Her goal is to one day be an author!
Chi Omega is working hard to collect donations to reach our goal of $10,000, and even surpass that! Anything counts, thank you all!
