April 28 – May 1, 2025 – Idaho Gives
Idaho Gives is a statewide campaign through the Idaho Nonprofit Center where we come together to support Idaho nonprofits making a difference in our communities and in our state. This year, please consider supporting Wish Granters – we are the only Idaho nonprofit dedicated to granting wishes for terminally ill adults. Please mark your calendars and join us in making an impact during Idaho Gives! We will post the link to our donation page closer to then.
April 1 – 30, 2024 – Blue Gander Benefit Month
Let’s get your windows sparkly clean for a cause this April! Book your window cleaning with Blue Gander Window Cleaning throughout the month of April, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to support our wish granting program. It’s a win-win: clean windows and helping make wishes come true!
BSU Concessions (ongoing opportunities):
Do you like football games, basketball games, concerts, and shows? Come work concessions at any of these BSU events to help us raise funds to grant more wishes! Get your friends, family, and co-workers together to fill a team of 2+ people for a stand. It is a great team building opportunity, and a Wish Granters Board of Directors or staff member will join your team to help! The link with upcoming events is listed below. Contact Olivia at olivia@wishgranters.org for more information or to sign up.
