Will you help us Wish Upon A Star?  For most of us, even in hard economic times, the gift of giving is still an important part of our holiday traditions.  As a sponsor, you will be fulfilling wishes for each adult and child in a Manasota ARC program and make their holiday a special time. For some, this may be the only gift they receive this season.  

We realize there are many worthy causes this holiday season with great needs nationally and locally.  It is our hope that Manasota ARC will be part of your company’s holiday celebration.  Our community partnerships are something that Manasota ARC deeply appreciates and our clients cherish. Having a gift to open and a “wish fulfilled” brings smiles to those we are so fortunate to support—and we need your help to do that.

We try to make it as simple as possible for the sponsor.  If needed, we will provide small (3ft.) Star Trees for placement at your business.  Some businesses decide to use a tree they were already planning on putting up as decoration.  If an employee decides to participate, he/she can choose a star off the tree and fulfill “a wish” for a very special person here at Manasota ARC. This year Wish Trees will be delivered to your location when you agree to be a sponsor.  Then, a Manasota ARC staff member and volunteers will return to your site to pick up gifts between December 9 & 10.  We love group photos on the pick up day!

Again, your consideration in participating in Manasota ARC’s Wish Upon A Star Gift Program is tremendously appreciated.  Your sponsorship helps enhance the quality of life for over 200 adults —the heart of Manasota ARC’s mission.  

If you are interested in participating, please fax back the sign-up sheet, or contact Dawn Mishler at 941-518-4997 or e-mail dmishler@tampabay.rr.com with any questions.
