The students initiated the event in 2014. Since that time it has collectively raised more than $24,000 in support of wishes for local children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Registration for the familyfriendly walk/run is $20 per person and begins at 11:30 a.m.; the walk/run begins promptly at 1 p.m. To register in advance or to form a fundraising team, visit http://2016ColgateWalkForWishes.kintera.org.
Make-A-Wish Central New York is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to granting the special wishes of children living with life-threatening medical conditions. More than just nice gestures, wishes provide the child and family with a bit of respite, and infuse hope, strength and joy into a difficult life experience.
