The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Northeast New York’s 17th Annual Adopt An Angel campaign will be held from November 19, 2009 to January 3, 2010. The campaign will officially begin with our Kickoff Event held at Crossgates Mall on November 19. All proceeds benefit the chapter’s wish-granting program.
Adopt An Angel features the stories of children who have had, or will have, their wish granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Northeast New York. Their stories are told on paper angels that resemble ornaments. They will be offered for a $3.00 donation at Aviation Mall, Colonie Center (Black Friday weekend only), Crossgates Mall, Rotterdam Square (weekends only), Wilton Mall (weekends only), businesses, schools and all branches of First Niagara Bank.
