We MaKe Wishes Come True!
We MaKe Wishes Come True!
In 1995, the staff of CJHS decided to expand their teaching of “philanthropy.” They were determined to teach the REAL meaning of charity, which is working for no recognition, prizes, or gifts, while giving unselfishly of yourself. And so, IT began. To date, CJHS has raised over $430,000 to grant wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions, thus making wishes come true.
The goal has not changed and stays the SAME TODAY. The staff of CJHS, asks each student to give a little of themselves in order to help make wishes come true!

ABout MaKE-A-Wish®
Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. The Foundation's mission reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish® experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors, sponsors, and entire communities.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation® was founded in 1980 after a little boy named Chris Greicius realized his heartfelt wish to become a police officer. Since its humble beginnings, the organization has blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon, reaching more than 167,000 children around the world.
Although it has become one of the world's most well-known charities, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has maintained the grassroots fulfillment of its mission.
A network of nearly 25,000 volunteers enable the Make-A-Wish Foundation® to serve children with life-threatening medical conditions. Volunteers serve as wish granters, fundraisers, special events assistants and in numerous other capacities.
As the Foundation continues to mature, its mission will remain steadfast. Wish children of the past, present and future will have an opportunity to share the power of a wish®.

Special Guest: Lisa McKee
Lisa and her husband, Mike, are long time members of the Concord Community. All four of their children, Ricky, Bobby, Ryan and Brandy attended Concord Junior High and are graduates of Concord High School.
Son, Bobby, is a wish recipient. Bobby's wish was a trip to meet the cast of "The OC" and tour the set in Los Angeles.
During the Make-A-Wish opening ceremonies on March 4, Lisa shared how Bobby's Make-A-Wish experience impacted not only Bobby, but the entire family.
