Wishmaker Walk for Wishes in Kelowna

Do you enjoy getting involved in your local community while working with other like-minded individuals to achieve a common goal? If the answer is yes, then Children’s Wish Foundation has a wonderful opportunity for you!

On Saturday, October 13th, 2012 The BC & Yukon Chapter of The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada will be hosting its 8th Annual Wishmaker Walk for Wishes and we would love to bring this magical event to your community!

We are seeking a group of dedicated volunteers to plan and execute a Wishmaker Walk for Wishes in Kelowna. This “Organizing Committee” will consist of five to eight members and will be managed by a Wishmaker Walk Chair(s). Children’s Wish will support the Organizing Committee every step of the way and will provide all materials, supplies, and information required to run a successful walk.

The Wishmaker Walk for Wishes is a family-oriented, pledge-based walk that builds community spirit and unity while supporting The Children’s Wish Foundation. It has raised over $9 million nationwide since 2005 and will take place in more than 100 communities across Canada this October. Since its inception in 1984, The Children’s Wish Foundation has granted over 18,000 heartfelt wishes to children (aged three to 17) living with high-risk, life-threatening illnesses and we can’t wait to grant many more exceptional wishes with your help!

In 2011, four unique Wishmaker Walks took place in BC: New Westminster, Victoria, Kelowna and Penticton and together we raised $26,000! We have granted 30 heartfelt wishes to children residing in Kelowna.

If you are interested in becoming involved with the Wishmaker Walk for Wishes in Kelowna or simply would like to find out more information, please contact: Alexandra Eady, Chapter Event Coordinator (T) 604-299-2241 ext. 222 (E) ac.hsiwsnerdlihcnull@ydae.xela.
