"Division II members cherish our partnership with Make-A-Wish," Wiley Cain, chair of the Division II Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and football player at Kentucky Wesleyan, said. "Supporting such a life-changing organization gives us joy and hope to watch as these kids, the epitome of strength and perseverance, are supported in their fight."
As part of its fundraising efforts, 91茄子视频 is one of 10 schools that will get to experience wish reveals, which are the powerful moments when wish kids find out theirs will be coming true.
