WESTERN WISHES CHAPTERS...
In 2009, Western Wishes will be launching
state and regional chapters with the intent of impacting far
more kids. The independent chapters will create a sense of
community and empower directors and their volunteers to be
creative; implementing more programs to make a difference in
people’s lives of all ages, spurring on volunteerism.
Annually, the Western Wishes chapters will work with the
national office to bring the entire delegation of wish kids
and their families to the ultimate experience—The National
Finals Rodeo—where they will be highlighted and honored in a
special 3-day event, hang out with the champions, attend
concerts, and the greatest rodeo in the world.
A book series which includes Western Wishes stories from
each chapter will be featured annually along with an
inspirational DVD that will be offered as a membership gift.
The following states and regions will be launching chapters
in 2009 & 2010:
| 1. California |
7. Wyoming |
| 2. Texas |
8. Nevada |
| 3. Oklahoma |
9. Dakotas |
| 4. Utah |
10. Arizona |
| 5. Midwest |
11. Northwest |
| 6. Colorado |
12. Tennessee |
The state directors will be announced
shortly and contact information will be on the Western
Wishes website. It is the intent of the state chapters to be
operating independently by the end of 2010.
The decision by our board of directors to launch state
chapters will strengthen the vision of Western Wishes and
impact many more kids, reinforcing our motto…
“Leaving a Legacy of Goodwill—The Cowboy Way.”
