It’s a Smoky Hill Miracle

All activities that we have for homecoming week, that money goes to the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Tens and thousands of supporters, volunteers, and donors lead the Make-A-Wish foundation to present a wish of every child that is diagnosed with a critical illness; Smoky Hill believes that the wish participation can be a game-changer and an extreme inspiration by granting wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve.

Every year the students and staff band together granting a kid’s wish who is battling with their health. With spirited events taking plac

e throughout the week to raise money. Making actions to engage in all the activities not only establishes more than enough money being raised but also an excellent way to link with teachers and students. Sponsor for Student Government, Scott Cohen said, “I just feel better about where teh money is going, just knowing it;s going to a good cause.”

Make-A-Wish regards the belief in the wishes to make the lives of children with life threatening medical conditions admirable and valuable to each and every child. The foundation all started when Chris (7) was diagnosed with leukemia. Wishing to be a police officer, the charitable affectionate community granted a wish, allowing the direction of success into a rewarding charity. “With the wish week, it’s another way for us to raise some money , for I think a really good cause, and maybe more people will participate,” Cohen said.

Make-A-Wish delivers an exclusive- and significant- aspect in serving the children among life threatening medical conditions with strength and courage in battling the conditions they suffer. Hearing stories like these, displays how much Smoky Hill generates an impact on a child’s life every year. To be involved in Wish Week is influential not only in the community but also encouraging students and staff to arise to make a change in the world to do something exceeding like this charity. “We’ve decided a number of years ago to start giving the money that we raised from thoses events to Make-A-Wish,” Cohen said.
