DuBois, PA – Thank you for helping us and the Greater PA and WV Make-A-Wish chapter raise $74,443.32… an astounding number, especially since it’s during a pandemic!
Businesses, schools, organizations, and everyday people dug deep and raised a magical amount of money, which will all go toward granting wishes for local kids dealing with critical illnesses… allowing them to forget about hospitals and doctors for a day and just be a kid!
We will continue to update this story with more photos and interviews.
Thank you!
Listen to the interview with Lacy Bair, Make-A-Wish Greater PA And WV regional director.
