Celebrity Sing For Wishes is an event coordinated by the McLean Area Regional Council,
a group of volunteers in central Illinois. Each year this event has grown and
now raises more than $25,000 annually for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois. This year,
organizers brought in American Idol alumnus Kimberly Caldwell
to raise the profile of Celebrity Sing For Wishes.
Students at Oak Lawn Hometown Middle School in Chicago's south suburbs have held an annual
walk-a-thon for several years now, raising more than $40,000 annually for the
Make-A-Wish Foundation of Ililnois. Students, teachers and the community come together
for this event that was founded in memory of a student who had a wish granted.
More than 70% of wishes granted are travel related. Frequent Flier Miles are always needed to help grant these wishes.
