As many of you may know, Make-A-Wish grants life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses. Make-A-Wish is my sorority, Chi Omega's, national philanthropy - and this year were are celebrating 20 years of partnership! Since 2002, nationally Chi Omega has raised over 30.0 million dollars, and granted 2,711 wishes (about 135 wishes a year)!!

Over the years, my chapter, Epsilon Lambda, has helped grant many wishes to children in the South Carolina area. Make-A-Wish South Carolina needs our help more than ever. Due to postponements of wishes from COVID-19, there are more children waiting for their wishes to be granted. As of right now there are 478 children on the list for wishes.
In honor of Chi Omega's 135 wishes each year, my goal is to raise $135. If every member of my chapter does this, we will be able to raise $13,770 this semester!
A wish can restore hope, build strength, uplift spirits, and encourage belief in the impossible to the families and children affected by critical illnesses. The funds we raise help ensure they do not have to wait a day longer to see their wishes come true.
Make-A-Wish is an organization near and dear to my heart as I have seen its impact on families through my time in Chi Omega. I would greatly appreciate anything you are able to contribute.
Thank you for your support!
