Make-A-Wish is a charity dedicated to raising money for children in critical condition throughout the world. Students can participate in the Make-A-Wish club, run by co-presidents junior Liam Powers and senior Anna Tittle. The club at school was founded many years ago with alumni Luke Andritsch, who was a Make-A-Wish child himself. With the help of fellow students Claire and Natalie Wilkinson, —children of regional Make-A-Wish board members—the three were able to start the club, which has been thriving and raising funds ever since.

  The club meets often every month and works throughout the year to raise thousands of dollars for one Make-A-Wish child. Members help with Dine-to-Donate, car washes, the annual haunted house, and bucket weeks.

   This year, the Make-A-Wish club collabed with best buddies to create a haunted house experience in the cafeteria. Volunteers dressed up in spooky costumes, and offered a walk-through experience.

   “HSE’s Make-A-Wish is unbelievably rewarding club,” Powers said. “I am grateful to be involved and able to contribute my time and energy to such an amazing organization.”

   Powers wants students to know the club is low commitment and easy to join. If students wish to participate in the club at school, they can talk to Mrs. Purcell and check out their instagram @hsemawclub.
