The Make-A-Wish Club at Campolindo High School will be hosting an "Eat for a Cause" fundraiser all day Sept. 26 at Patxi's Pizza, which will donate 10 percent of all their sales, excluding alcohol, catering and restaurant taxes to the organization. If local residents already had plans for dinner, Campo's Make-A-Wish Club president Audrey Price says they can order one of Patxi's half-baked frozen pizzas and 10 percent of that cost will go to the Make-A-Wish Club. Gift cards are also part of the fundraiser, as long as they're used on the day of the fundraising event.
"We want to earn the most money we can, because it goes to granting the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses," said Price, who was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm in 2014 and complications confined her to a hospital ward for six weeks. Her wish to see her favorite band, One Direction, was granted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. "I had a wish back in 2014, and I can truly say it was a magical and incredible experience that I will never forget."
Price started the Make-A-Wish Club in her junior year at Campo. Last year, the club held several fundraisers, such as various Eat For A Causes, selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts, selling Make-A-Wish stars, Santa letters, and holding a bake sale. In total, the club raised over $5,600 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
