Four Fun Events To Benefit Make-A-Wish Illinois This Summer
This summer, there are a few great opportunities to benefit Make-A-Wish Illinois. If you have an unwanted vehicle that you no longer want or need, vehicle donation might be the perfect opportunity for you to help Make-A-Wish Illinois. Not only is vehicle donation green and eco-friendly, but it also helps to fund wishes for kids living in areas like Chicago, Springfield, Peoria, Joliet, Rockford, East Saint Louis, and Aurora. Vehicle donation also gets you a great tax deduction, plus free pick up or towing of your vehicle.
Help Make-A-Wish Illinois This Summer
If vehicle donation isn’t on your list of to-do’s this summer, there are other ways to help Make-A-Wish Illinois grant wishes for local kids with critical illnesses. If you do have a vehicle to donate, please call 1-855-278-9474 or fill out an online car donation form and your vehicle will soon be on its way to making wishes come true!
Even if you don’t have a vehicle to donate, you can help to make wishes come true when you attend any of the four upcoming events benefiting Make-A-Wish Illinois this July. Flip For Wishes on July 11, attend the Trzask International Golf Outing on July 18, run in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Half Marathon on July 19, or Roll For A Cause on July 25. Earned proceeds from all four events help to fund wishes of children living in Illinois.
