Community support is ramping up in Twin Falls this week as organizers continue preparing for the upcoming Walk for Wishes Magic Valley event benefiting Make-A-Wish Idaho.
The annual fundraiser is set for May 30 in Twin Falls, and organizers say local businesses, families, volunteers, and fundraising teams have been stepping up over the past several days to help support Idaho children facing critical illnesses. Teams continue registering this week while donation drives and sponsorship efforts grow leading up to the event.
Make-A-Wish Idaho says funds raised through the Magic Valley event stay connected to helping grant wishes for children across Idaho, including families right here in Southern Idaho.
Organizers say community participation has continued growing every year as more local residents get involved through fundraising teams, volunteer efforts, and donations.
And honestly, this is one of those events that reminds you the Magic Valley really does show up when kids need help. People here will absolutely rally around a good cause faster than they’ll merge properly in the Costco parking lot.
The event will include family activities, fundraising walks, community booths, and local teams participating throughout the day.
Make-A-Wish officials say every dollar raised helps provide life-changing experiences for children dealing with serious medical challenges while also giving families moments of hope during difficult times.
Gina believes in the power of local media to make a difference, whether by keeping listeners informed, giving a platform to local voices, or providing a soundtrack to their day.
Now, as she returns to Lee Family Broadcasting at the helm of Hot100 FM, Gina is especially excited to reconnect with the Magic Valley community she calls home. She is grateful for the opportunity to combine her professional expertise with her personal love of music, entertainment, and storytelling.
