WESTERN WISHES LOCAL
CHAPTERS...
In 2009, Western Wishes will be launching
state 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. Most
importantly…
100% of what is raised
in the state will stay in the state.
The state 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 event, hang out with world champions, attend
concerts, and the greatest rodeo in the world.
A book series which includes Western Wishes stories from
each state chapter will be featured along with an
inspirational DVD that will be offered as an annual
membership gift.
The following states and regions will be launching chapters
in 2009:
| 1. California |
7. Wyoming |
| 2. Texas |
8. Nevada |
| 3. Utah |
9. Badlands (North/South Dakota) |
| 4. Colorado |
10. Northwest (OR/ID/WA) |
| 5. Arizona |
11. Tennessee (established ’08) |
| |
|
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 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.”
