This year was a bit different than year's past... with Toy's R Us closing, we didn't have one store that could meet our needs, so we did most of our shopping online and delivered it to the site for wrapping.  Once again, we had so many volunteers that came out to assist with this task.  It was an afternoon filled with laughter, community, and service.  A special thanks goes out to all of our volunteers and all of the people who donate to make this day possible [gallery columns="5" size="medium"…

28 Families were identified and adopted this year.  In one day, over 825 gifts were purchased and wrapped, then delivered to the families.  Thank you to all that have supported this effort, through donations of money, time, services, and products.  We literally could not do it without you!  Enjoy the pictures and thank you for making this possible!

This was our biggest event yet, both in amount of money spent and number of people that received gifts this holiday season.  Thanks to all of your donations and the tireless efforts of the Board of Directors and our many volunteers... Anna's Wish touched 110 people this holiday season and helped make their dreams come true! Thank you!!!!  Let's hope there is a cure, but if not, let's help even more people in 2014!!!

Anna's Wish has chosen to continue to support the PlayDeck at Golisano's Children Hospital because it is such an important respite for families and children dealing with sickness.  Thank you for all who help make this possible!

The Rush Henrietta National Honor Society once again hosted the "Carnival" event at Rush-Henrietta High School on March 8, 2013!  (Yes, it was an incredibly busy week with fundraisers, but could not be more appreciative of all the kindness and love!) This event continues to attract more people and raise more money each and every year.  The staff and students throughout the entire district made this one of the most successful fundraisers in the history of Anna's Wish. An incredible amount goes into organizing this event and we here at…

On March 7, 2013 staff and students throughout the Batavia City School District volunteered to have their head's shaved to show support for people fighting cancer and to raise money for Anna's Wish.  In total, 20 brave men, woman, and children allowed the clippers to remove...what many have been growing for a long time! It must be noted, that some of the volunteers did not actually have to have their head shaved to achieve this feat.... mother nature has taken care of that for them! A special thanks goes out…
