I watched the special on CSX’s Santa Train that aired on Great American Country over the weekend and it was amazing. If you haven’t seen it yet, I suggest you do.

I am extremely proud to say that Kids Wish Network was a part of this wonderful endeavor to help the children and families in the Appalachian Mountains. I am especially proud of Ashley, who was lucky enough to have been the KWN representative on the Santa Train. She did an amazing job helping out and putting a very happy face to the KWN name; in fact, everyone involved with the Santa Train did an awesome job.

There is nothing quite like that special feeling you get when you know that something you’ve done has gone towards helping children; with the Santa Train, over 5,000 children were given something to smile about for the holiday season when they might have had nothing. We at Kids Wish Network are very proud to have been a part of this event.

Not literally, but I’m really excited about an event that a few of our representatives are attending over the weekend: our Holiday of Hope “kickoff” party at Shriners Hospitals for Children in Philadelphia!

The last Holiday of Hope party we hosted there was a huge success! I’ve heard about some of the activities our Facility Coordinators have planned for this coming Saturday and I simply can’t wait to hear all about it when they get back in on Monday!

We’ve sent the hospital a “gift bank” of toys and gifts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars for the sick children there and I’m eagerly waiting to hear the stories of how happy the kids are. I can practically see all those smiling faces now!

I’m sure it’s going to be a big hit that’ll be tons of fun for everyone involved, especially the kids. It really is all for them and they truly deserve it.

Stay tuned for when the girls get back. They’ll be so full of great stories that they’ll be eager to blog about them!

Greetings Everyone,
I just wanted to take a moment and thank the Kids Wish Network team for their tireless efforts in helping the thousands of children we serve nationwide. Without their outstanding dedication we would not be able to achieve our goal of putting smiles on the faces of so many deserving children. Kids Wish Network ROCKS

Mark, some of our staff and I had fun delivering toys for St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital. This was for their “Christmas in July” campaign. Those toys were to help put the smiles on the faces of many sick and injured children. I encourage anyone who wants to view this success story, please click here. This is what we love to do!!!!:)
