Make-A-Wish® Foundation
Chagrin Valley Wellness Center is honored to have taken steps to be an active part in the Make-A-Wish® Foundation. As you know there are many children going through various illnesses. The Make-A-Wish® Foundation, through generous donors, can put a smile on these children's faces, as well as the members of their family by granting a wish for them, or in some cases the child grants a wish for someone else’s benefit.
In January 2008, CVWC launched the WishStar Campaign, in honor of the Make-A-Wish® Foundation's 25th Anniversary. We will accept donations in our office & signify each donation by displaying a WishStar with the donors name on a banner in our lobby. WishStar progress pictures are available here. Help us FILL THE BANNER....and the walls!!
WOW! What a wonderful turnout!! The 16th Annual Walk for Wishes was an amazing event you had to attend to truly appreciate. The event, hosted at the Cleveland Metro Parks Zoo on June 28th, saw thousands of people from all walks of life brave the threatening rain clouds to support the Make-A-Wish families! Fortunately, the clouds only threatened rain and the day saw spots of sun accompanied by a refreshing summer breeze.
Chagrin Valley Wellness Center was well represented by staff, family & friends. Our walk team, Chagrin Valley Wellness Walkers, was blessed to have walked with a four year old young lady who just had her wish granted. This August her and her family will take a trip to Disney World!
Thank you all so much for generously donating your time, energy & money for the benefit of the Make-A-Wish children and their families.
