		Kiddie Academy of Miami Lakes Charity Fashion Show Kiddie Academy of Miami Lakes held their second annual charity fashion show to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Southern Florida. Dillard’s in the Galleria mall was generous enough to allow participating students to pick out three outfits to model. Family, friends, and community members purchased tickets to the event and made donations on behalf of the academy. For the second year in a row they raised in excess of $5,000. This year they granted Gabriella’s wish to go to Walt Disney World®. Thank you Kiddie Academy of Miami Lakes for your continued support!
		Riverside Elementary’s Ice Cream & Betty Crocker Bake Shop Mrs. Berger’s 4th grade class at Riverside Elementary held its annual ice cream shop to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida. This year they added an extra component and sold Betty Crocker cupcakes with supplies generously donated from our national partner, Betty Crocker. The class raised over $1400 for the Foundation. The total was bumped up to over $1800 when Mr. Hertz of Hertz Jewelers of Parkland generously contributed to the class’s total. Mr. Hertz raised the additional money by asking customers who came in for a watch battery repair to donate the fee to the Make-A-Wish Foundation instead of paying for the service. A huge thanks goes out to Mr Hertz, Mrs. Berger, the students, faculty, and parent volunteers at Riverside Elementary.
		Pinewood Elementary’s Spring Walk-A-Thon Pinewood Elementary hosted their Spring Walk-A-Thon to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida. Combined with the money they raised from their Fall Walk-A-Thon, they raised a total of $5,000, enough to grant 6-year-old Tyler’s wish to go to Walt Disney World®. Thank you Pinewood Elementary faculty and staff for all of your hard work. Special thanks to Lisa Goodz for organizing the walks!
		Students Offering Support The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida was one of just four charities selected to receive funding from SOS Students Offering Support, Inc. The club, which is the only 501©3 registered co-ed community service club in the state of Florida, strives to teach high school co-eds the impact they can have on their community by having them conduct business, identify community needs, and create a fundraising and service plan to meet those needs. The club raised $2,000 this year, which was their charter year.
		Make-A-Wish® Weekend The Event & Facilities Mgmt. class at Barry University is run similar to the hit reality show The Apprentice, where students learn by a hands-on education approach. This past Saturday, the class hosted “Make-A-Wish Weekend” at Barry’s final baseball and softball home games. One of their sponsored wish children, 11-year-old Andres began the double-header and family-fun day by throwing out the first pitch. The weekend’s fundraiser was one of a three-part-series for Barry students who worked this school year to raise $10,000, enough money to grant wishes for two local South Florida children.
		SHAPE Club, University School of Nova Southeastern University Members of the SHAPE Club selected the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Southern Florida to benefit from their grant program. Through this program students form a student foundation and have the opportunity to distribute up to $2,000 to local non-profit organizations. University School of NSU’s grant combined with other high school fundraisers will help grant Brittany’s wish to visit Paris this summer.
