points for make a wish

[pointsjunkie]

since this is a true points program there are many families who would love to go to disney for 4 or 5 days, it could be off season and would hardly break your point bank. giving something so special will give you a high like no other and it lasts a long time. disney people are special people, would be great to share with a family who is having a tough time.

HI Tom - Here is the Make A Wish Foundation contact Info. I have it listed in the Owner Resources Sticky on the Starwood board, if you ever need to find it again. It's a great cause! In another post, someone (JohnMFaeth I think) said that a Disney trip is the #1 request of the children from the foundation. Most of these children have cancer.

Make-a-Wish Foundation has tremendous needs for Orlando housing as Disney is the #1 request of these very ill children.

The Central Florida Chapter fills the lodging requests for all states. They can always use donations, they need about 2-3 months notice for the matching/scheduling process.

Their info is:

I thought we tried to pool some points over on DISboards a few years back. For some reason I recall a snag trying to set up an account with MS to pool points.

Of course, it's somewhat likely I imangined the entire thing.

I volunteer for Make A Wish in NY. I am a telephone greater for the families that come into NY for their wish. I am also an events volunteer. Hope to train soon to be a wish escort. It is very rewarding.
