Busy Week!!




Last Saturday was our strategic planning day when our wonderful Board members got together with Managers to plan for our year ahead.  Most importantly,  despite the economy we will continue our medical outreach in an effort to reach every eligibile child and combat those increased costs by seeking out more donated product and services.  So we need your help!  Three cheers for Red Horse Squadron at Nellis who recently helped us install a playground, along with Hubba, Matt and Fred.

 
Our wish granting staff have had a very tough week, with four 'rush' wishes.  Doctors have informed us these children are in very fragile condition and we know we must do our utmost for them at this time.

For Development staff, its all about Jack's Wish to be Spider-Man next Monday and we just heard Criss Angel will grace the red carpet as a Spidey fan.  Whatta guy!  Criss has granted 25 wishes and now he will take part in Jack's movie premiere. Hope you can join us too and share in the power of a wish!

This Week!!

Our Staff having a little fun with the Elvi and Carrot Top at the Las Vegas Hilton

We’re busy as bees closing out our fiscal year, celebrating 149 magical wishes for the wonderful children we serve and the families who love them.  I’m very lucky to work with such a fabulous team of staff, they’re clever, compassionate and dedicated – all of them!  Sadly, we must ask you all to say a prayer for the wish child we lost this week, we are thankful we were able to grant Ivan’s wish in time. Our hearts ache for his family and the loss of this precious life. 

As we prepare for Jack’s Wish to be Spider-Man we hope you’ll all join us to cheer him along the red carpet at the Las Vegas Hilton and enjoy his 5 minute movie, followed by the ‘Oscars’.  Jack is doing great, he is well recovered and will grow up to be a Super Hero!
