“We are incredibly excited to have made such a difference this year and we have so many people to thank for the support,” said Amy Daniels, executive director for the WiSH Foundation. “Individual and corporate donations, outside grants and donations of goods have allowed us to impact programs across STEAM, focus on underserved populations and even add defibrillators to campuses and concussion software for our student-athletes. We’ve affected programs all across the board this year.”

Earlier this year, the WiSH Education Foundation worked with Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital and a private donor to get “Stop the Pressure Bleed Kits” for every classroom in the district, according to officials.

“Our grant funders give us a solid foundation of giving, without whom we couldn’t do the work we do,” said Vice Chairman of the Board Lynne Secrest. “It’s important we recognize them and appreciate this year’s funders, who include Boston Scientific, Edison, City National Bank, LA County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, Jersey Mike’s, the Southern California Gas Company, Los Angeles Clippers Foundation, Albertsons Companies Foundation, Wolf Creek Brewery and American Institutes for Research.”

In addition to dollar donations, WiSH made headlines in Santa Clarita with annual events, including the AutoNation Vehicle Giveaway from January to March, Wine on the Roof in May, and the Burrito Bowl and Cocktails on the Roof in August, according to officials.

“There is no better way to both raise funds and thank our supporters than through these amazing events,” said Richard Cohn chairman of the board. “Every person who buys a ticket enjoys themselves and helps make a difference at the same time.”

The WiSH Education Foundation is able to put on these events in large part due to their volunteer force, according to Cohn.

“We have an incredible group of volunteers who create ideas, develop the plan and execute the event,” Cohn said. “In a region where there are a lot of fundraising events to choose from, WiSH is proud to host some of the most successful and unique events around.”
