Wish walk looking for volunteers

The Children’s Wish Foundation is proud to present the 4th Annual Wishmaker Walk for Wishes in Yorkton! We are searching for individuals, small businesses, community groups or a group of friends interested in walking in or volunteering for the event on October 13, 2012 in Yorkton. Over the past three years this walk has raised over $65,000 which goes to help grant amazing wishes to children diagnosed with a life threatening illness.

To find out how you can register online or volunteer, please call the Dale Hintz at 1-306-783-6320.

The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada

Each year, thousands of Canadian children between the ages of three and 17 are diagnosed with a life threatening illness. Since 1984, The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada has worked tirelessly to grant exceptional wishes to 17,000 children and their families.

This year, the Foundation expects to grant over 1,000 new wishes and is proud to have never refused a wish to an eligible child, and with the help of volunteers and generous donors, is able to grant nearly three wishes every day. Each wish is an individual adventure, carefully structured to meet the needs of a particular child and family. The Foundation is a national charity with chapters in every province and territory.
