Four eighth-grade classes from Barrington Middle School in Barrington, Rhode Island, supported the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts and Rhode Island by joining our Kids For Wish Kids® program. For one week in December, the students held a "Coin War" to collect spare change and raised $1,215.22! The students also helped to make wishes come true by participating in Macy's "Believe" letter-writing campaign. Through the “Believe” program, Macy’s donated $1 to the Foundation for each letter to Santa that was delivered to Macy’s. Thanks to the students for their wonderful work! Kids For Wish Kids is a fun and educational program for students of all ages, youth groups, and college organizations.
