Event Co-Chairman Steve Crouse's most honest foursome enjoys a day at the links. Steve Sopko and SCI Greensburg Shots for Tots have raised more than $80,000 throughout the years through a foul shot & 3 point basketball shoot and a Four Points Sheraton tree display. President and CEO Judi Stone interviews long-time volunteers Cheryl and Bruce Hartle. For the last few years, Chad McCall has kicked off the Light Up A Child's Life campaign at One Oxford Centre in Downtown Pittsburgh. This is the fifth year for the Christopher's Challenge golf outing, which raised $10,200 in May 2009. It is held in memory of Chad’s son Christopher, whose wish was to go to Disney World in August 2004, when Christopher was 4-years old. Chad is pictured here with Make-A-Wish President and CEO Judi Stone. The Tilden Elementary Center PTO in Hamburg, PA, sponsored a 100th Day of School Contest. Each child was invited to bring 100 coins of any denomination into their classroom to donate to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. On February 3rd, the 100th Day, the containers were collected and counted. Congratulations to Mrs. Frederick’s second grade class (pictured) for raising $108.76 in their jar. They won a movie prize pack for their tremendous efforts. Two other classes received honorable mentions for collecting more than $100 in their jar: Mr. Faust's and Mrs. Gatto's classes. The grand total that was raised by Tilden Elementary Center was $1505.88. Principal Mr. Fitzpatrick (far left) accepted a Wishpartner Certificate from the Foundation for the school's accomplishment.
