Olivia Marie Sperber, an 11-year old singer from South Park is trying to make a difference in the lives of local Make-A-Wish® kids through her singing and fundraising events that she calls ‘Singing for Wishes’.
Since 1983, Make-A-Wish® Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia has been granting wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. In their 35 year history, our local chapter has granted more than 19,000 wishes. That’s more than 19,000 smiles on the faces of local wish kids and their families. This is one of many fundraisers we hold throughout the year and the first annual dance marathon.
‘Singing for Wishes’ Mini-Thon is a self-organized Make-A-Wish® fundraiser for Pittsburgh area students in grades 5-8. This fun-filled event will take place on March 30, 2019 from 4-10 pm at the South Park Home Economics Building. There will be dancing, sports, games, prizes and plenty of food!
For 6 hours these motivated, caring kids will not be able to sit down; but will have fun doing it! The money raised during this event will be donated to Make-A-Wish® Greater Pittsburgh and West Virginia Chapter.
We hope we can count on your participation to make the first annual “Singing for Wishes Mini-Thon” a huge success! We are requesting each student raise money by getting sponsors prior to event. Registration fee is $25. To register or for more information please visit our website at https://singingforwishes.weebly.com. Questions can be sent by email to singingforwishes@gmail.com. Corporate sponsorship opportunities available! Follow Olivia Marie Sperber for more details, event photos and updated events on Facebook facebook.com/oliviamarieofficial
