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 250,000 children around the world.

Why does this organization deserve funding?:

Bethel Express (a 100% volunteer organization) serves some of the most ’needy’
people in the city of Rochester……the kids – aged 6-16. The common demonitator
among all the kids in the program is they come from homes with no father; for
most of them their mothers are absent their lives or have abondened their
parental responsibilities.

The volunteers within the organization become the kids advocates and take on
the parental responsibilities. They attend parent/teacher nights for the kids;
ferry them from home to sports programs/music programs or any other after
school activities the kids are involved in. They also provide homework support
and mentoring to ensure the kids have a shot at a successful future.

What’s amazing about this program is the success rate of the kids. For the
past 15 years that the program has been in existence, they have a 90+%
graduation rate from High School – in a city where the graduation rate has been
as low as 30% and in 2010 reached a high of 42%. Additionally, over 50% of the
kids go on to graduate from College and come back to the program as active
mentors and volunteers.

Every Saturday morning, the kids receive a hot breakfast – for many of the
kids, it’s the only hot breakfast they receive all week – for a few of them
it’s the only hot meal for the week.

The Miller family loves being involved in the this program….we love to see
the positive impact it’s having for the kids it serves….but it’s also having a
huge impact on our lives as well.
