fundraisers
Third party fundraisers are a vital part of Wishing Star’s income.
Anyone can put on a third party event. Past fundraisers include car washes, golf tournaments, proceeds from a day’s sales at a business and more. If you would like to host a third-party event and help us change lives, please follow the link below to learn more or sign up to Host a Fundraiser!
THANK YOU to some of our recent third party fundraisers for their support of the Wishing Star Foundation!
Tri-City Americans Wishing Star Night presented by Bergstrom Aircraft ($1,707)
On February 27, Bergstrom Aircraft sponsored a “Chuck a Star” promotion for Wishing Star. Hockey fans could purchase a foam star to throw on the ice during intermission. The Boilermakers Local 242 also sold tickets to the game, with a portion of ticket price coming to Wishing Star. What a fun night!
Taylor’s Fundraiser ($630)
Taylor is a 6th grader from Spokane. She was given $50 through an activity at church and encouraged to do something amazing with it. She decided to multiply her donation to help grant a wish. We think she did an AMAZING job!

Thank you to the employees at Crazy Beagle Coffee in Liberty Lake for donating your tips for 5 days to Wishing Star.

Thank you to ALL for your dedication and for helping us change the lives of local children.
