Macy’s Holiday List Donations

Home/Projects/Macy’s Holiday List Donations

The Problem

Macy's the department store said they would donate one dollar for every "Santa Card/List" they recieve (up to one million dollars) to the Make A Wish Foundation. My wish is to make sure that enough cards are sent in to reach the maximum amount of money of one million dollars to go to the Make A Wish Foundation.

Our Plan

I will have Roots & Shoots members send in their Christmas lists to the Macy's event to increase the amount of money they send to Make A Wish Foundation, a nonprofit that organizes amazing experiences for children with life threatening medical conditions.
