OVERVIEW OF NCA/NDA AND THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION ® PROGRAM<br />

Continuing its longstanding commitment to leadership and community service, <strong>National</strong><br />

<strong>Cheerleaders</strong> <strong>Association</strong> and <strong>National</strong> Dance Alliance are proud to be official sponsors of<br />

the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a global charity that grants the wishes of children with lifethreatening<br />

medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.<br />

Founded in 1980 when a group of caring volunteers helped a young boy fulfill his dream of<br />

becoming a police officer, the Foundation is now the largest wish-granting charity in the<br />

world, with 62 chapters in the United States and its territories. With the help of generous<br />

donors and nearly 25,000 volunteers, the Make-A-Wish Foundation grants a wish every 40<br />

minutes and has granted more than 200,000 wishes in the United States since its inception.<br />

It is the spirit of community service that has brought NCA and NDA into the<br />

Make-A-Wish ® family. NCA and NDA teams have been introduced to the incredible Make-<br />

A-Wish experience and have learned about opportunities to share the power of a wish ® . Each<br />

year at NCA and NDA Camps and Championships nationwide, teams are challenged to<br />

develop their leadership potential by giving back to their communities. Teams can<br />

fundraise, volunteer, or help with chapter special events at any time through the year, from<br />

tryout time to tryout time.<br />

FUNDRAISING<br />

Please refer to the Approved Fundraisers document to determine a suitable event. These<br />

events will help raise the funds needed to help make wishes come true for children with<br />

life-threatening medical conditions. In addition, local Make-A-Wish chapter contacts are<br />

available to incorporate chapters into any events or provide additional help or ideas. These<br />

events will help raise the funds needed to help make wishes come true for incredibly brave<br />

and deserving children. Please visit wish.org for the chapter nearest you.<br />

VOLUNTEERING AND COMMUNITY SERVICE<br />

Whether it is through wish granting, administrative support, special events, or other<br />

programs, NCA and NDA teams have the opportunity to volunteer for their local<br />

Make-A-Wish chapters as well. If interested please visit wish.org to identify your local<br />

chapter contact.
