The annual radiothon was held on WZPL on the Dave Smiley’s show and the goal was to raise $6,000 for each child’s wish and over $120,000 was needed to fulfill all of the wishes for children who suffer from life threatening illnesses.
Vance Flagg of Knox made a wish to go to San Diego and Sea World to visit all of the animals as he loves them so much. The wish was granted during the radiothon yesterday morning.
Giving back to the community is being taught early in the Culver school system. For the third year in a row, all 6th graders at Culver participate in what has been titled, “Soup for the Soul.” Last year, $3,500 was raised for community charities, and this year’s event raised $3,000 with more coming in daily.
Two youngsters were given their wish this week by students at Culver Community High School. The Student Council raised over $10,000 to send the two students to Disney World and Sea World.
“My Student Council has closed their Make-A-Wish Foundation donation fundraiser and they have raised $10,461.79 in five weeks,” said Student Council Sponsor, Tina Stacey.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation will receive more than over $10,000 this afternoon in the name of two Culver students.
