Donate wish bag items
When our wish wizards visit a wish child
they bring along a gift bag for the wish child as well as their siblings.
These special bags help the children to relax and feel more comfortable during
the interview with the wish wizards.
Wishes & More
is currently collecting items for these wish bags. We are looking for items
with a value up to $20.00 for children birth to age 19.
This would be a great opportunity for your
children to get involved with
Wishes & More. How
about a birthday party with everyone bringing an item to donate for the wish
bags instead of bringing a birthday gift? This is also a great project
for your club or organization. Your donation of one item or a room full
of items is very much appreciated. The following is a list of suggestions for
items:
- Stuffed animals
- Board games-all ages
- Art supplies-markers,
crayons, paper, paints etc.
- Dolls
- Books - all ages
- DVD/VHS - G/PG rated
- Balls-footballs,
basketballs etc
- Handheld games
- Puzzles
- Backpacks
- Tote bags
- Curling ribbon
- Disposable cameras
- Stickers
- Candy
- Cars, trucks

Donate in honor of
someone special.
A
donation in honor of someone can be a very meaningful gift to both the honoree
and Wishes & More
.
Donations can be made in honor of many things but some of the more common
occasions are weddings, bar and bat mitzvah’s, birthdays, and graduations.
Send
us the honoree’s name, address, and the occasion and we will send a tax receipt
to you and a handwritten card to the recipient of your thoughtfulness. All
cards are original artwork created by students from area schools. Unless you
direct us otherwise, the card sent to the recipient will not indicate the amount
donated in their name.
In
addition, we will publish the honoree’s name in our upcoming newsletter . Please advise us if you do NOT want the name and occasion
publicized in this manner.
Please note, that we respectfully request donations to be in a minimum amount of
$15.00 to compensate for the time necessary to process the donations.
Buy a Gift for that
special person or client.
Do
you have someone that is hard to buy for? Why not buy them tickets to one of
our special events, i.e. the annual dinner/auction or the golf tournament. Call
for details of upcoming events and we will work with you in preparing your
special gift. This is a great way to support
Wishes & More
and to create a memorable gift for
someone special.
Memorials:
A
donation in memory of someone can be sent at any time. Send us the name of the person being remembered, as well as the
name and address of the person(s) you would like
to receive notice of the donation.
We
will send them a hand written acknowledgment of the donation, written on a card
with original artwork from a child. We will NOT indicate the amount of
the donation unless specified by you, the donor.
In
addition, we will publish the name of the person you are remembering in our upcoming newsletter. Please advise us if you do NOT want the name or
donation
publicized in this manner.
