2016 marks Sheetz For The Kidz 11th year partnering with the Make-a-Wish Foundation to help children with life-threatening conditions to experience the trip of a lifetime.
Sheetz For The Kidz, an employee run 501 (c)(3) charitable organization, is once again working to provide support, hope, joy and happiness to children within the communities in which Sheetz operates. Sheetz For The Kidz, which was founded 24 years ago, has once again launched its July Campaign of Giving. Sheetz For The Kidz is now working to raise funds to support the Sheetz For The Kidz Holiday Program and Make-A-Wish.
Sheetz for the Kidz
The Sheetz For The Kidz Holiday Program provides children in need the opportunity to celebrate the holidays with new toys, clothes and other basic needs. The program works with The Salvation Army to identify families and collect their holiday wish lists. Sheetz employees from every Sheetz operating area participate in shopping, wrapping and hosting parties for all the participating children. Over $1.2 million was distributed last year, making the holiday season brighter for more than 8,520 children in all six states.
This will mark the 11th year of Sheetz For The Kidz partnering with Make-A-Wish to sponsor families of children with life-threatening medical conditions so they can experience a weeklong dream vacation in Orlando, Fla. 48 families will enjoy a free vacation at Give Kids the World Village, a 70-acre, non-profit storybook resort designed to provide special facilities for the children and their families while taking in the Disney vacation of their dreams.
