Dear Friends, Family & Mountainside High School Community,
Welcome to our fundraising page benefiting Make-A-Wish Oregon!
Mountainside High School has partnered with Make-A-Wish since 2017, raising money to grant wishes for children with critical medical conditions living right here in OUR community.
Last year, our Make-A-Wish kid was Samantha whose wish was to go to Disneyland! This year Mountainside's Make-A-Wish kid is Enzo, a 5-year-old from Beaverton whose wish was to get a travel trailer.
Our MHS Staff Dares 2024! These dares help create incentive to donate, spread awareness, build spirit, and provide a ton of fun for our Mountainside community. Every time we reach a donation milestone, staff who have signed up for each dare must then complete them (most happen during our Stuff the Stables Spirit Week at the end of January/beginning of February)!
