Siena College Wishmakers on Campus

04/02/2019

Hello everybody! This is our new fundraiser called the Star Angel Challenge! For reference, it's similar to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Once nominated, you post a picture/video of a creative way to make a star, and then nominate 3 others (corporate or individual) to do the same! The video below gives some ideas. We, the Siena College Wiskmakers Club, nominate AJ Sign Company to be our first corporate sponsor to begin this chain of Star Angels! The link for donations is provided below and 100% of the funds go directly to Make-A-Wish Northeast New York!

Last night the Wishmakers on campus came together to make Christmas cards for Jacob Thompson. Jacob was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma 3 years ago. While he has been admitted to Barbara Bush Children's Hospital for the last time his family wants to make the most of his condition and celebrate Christmas early. The only thing he asked for was homemade Christmas cards so he could celebrate Christmas one last time. If you want to send Jacob a letter you can send it to:
Jacob Thompson
Maine Medical Center
22 Bramball Street
Portland, ME 04102
