The Ohio Valley Jaycees Charitable Fund presented a grant of $10,000 to the A Special Wish Foundation of the Oho Valley on Monday.
A Special Wish Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for children and young people under the age of 21 who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness by granting their special wish. Since its founding in 1992, the local chapter has granted over 150 wishes to children and families in the Ohio Valley.
“They go through so much every single day, and all we want to do is be able to grant wishes and put a smile on their face,” said A Special Wish Executive Director Annmarie O’Grady. “Our motto is ‘Some wishes can’t wait,’ so having grants such as this from wonderful organizations like the Ohio Valley Jaycees Charitable Fund allows us to complete our mission.”
Established in 2022 after the local Jaycees chapter disbanded, the Ohio Valley Jaycees Charitable Fund is a donor-advised fund administered by the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley.
