We are so excited to kick off the annual El Dorado Make-A-Wish fundraiser for the 4th year in a row! In just three years El Dorado has granted wishes for Dylan (12 years old), Rosie Jane (5 years old), Emmanuel (14 years old), and Alejandro (17 years old).

Our entire student body and staff was able to host Rosie Jane and her family at last year's winter rally. Her wish was to visit Disney World. It was a beautiful moment to see what can happen when the Nest comes together to help.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a national organization dedicated to granting the wishes of children with critical illnesses through fundraising and community support. Our school-wide goal last year was to raise $7,500, and as a community, we raised over $8,000, granting the wish of 17-year-old Alejandro! He attended a Dallas Cowboys NFL game, met his favorite players, and even got their autographs.

The cost of granting a wish has risen.  Our goal this year working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation is $10,000. This will allow us to grant a 5th wish on behalf of the Hawks Nest.

It is the combined efforts of our community that have allowed and will continue to allow for wishes to be granted. Within the first few days of the fundraiser, we are already well over the 30% mark! CLICK HERE to donate now to our very own Make-A-Wish page.

Thank you for your consideration in being a part of this tradition of our Golden Hawks. Enjoy the long weekend. Go HAWKS.
