Fundraiser for Make-A-Wish®
Event Fundraiser: 2020 Allstate Hot Chocolate 15k/5k - Columbus
Introducing Our Official Charity: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®!
The Allstate Hot Chocolate 15k/5k is proud to support the mission of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital: Finding cures. Saving children.® Together as a running community, we have the power to end childhood cancer around the country.
Please join us in supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital with your own contribution to childhood cancer research and the kids of St. Jude to help ensure that families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
About Make-A-Wish®
Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with critical illnesses to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. According to a 2011 U.S. study of wish impact, most health professionals surveyed believe a wish-come-true has positive impacts on the health of children. Kids say wishes give them renewed strength to fight their illness, and their parents say these experiences help strengthen the entire family. Headquartered in Phoenix, Make-A-Wish is one of the world's leading children's charities, serving children in every community in the United States and its territories. With the help of generous donors and more than 33,000 volunteers, Make-A-Wish grants a wish somewhere in the country every 34 minutes. It has granted more than 285,000 wishes since its inception in 1980; more than 15,300 in 2016 alone. Visit Make-A-Wish at www.wish.org to learn more.
