Regardless of your success in bidding at the Fantasy Auction, there are many additional ways that you can support the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Maine. Here are a couple of ideas:

Join the Circle Of Angels

While 18-year-old Brandi, of Sidney, Maine, was going through cancer treatments in 2002, she received many guardian angel pins from friends and family. The pins boosted her spirits so much that when it came time for her to make her wish, she asked to travel to New York City to give guardian angel pins to children who lost their parents in the September 11 attacks. The Circle Of Angels recognizes individuals who contribute $1,000 or more to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Maine. All donors in this level receive one of Brandi’s guardian angel pins, as well as other recognitions described below. Within the Circle Of Angels, there are various levels of giving and recognitions:

Angels are individual donors of $1,000 or more.

Wishmakers are individual donors of $6,000 or more. Donors receive details about a wish granted in their honor.

The Chris Greicius Society is named after the child whose wish inspired the founding of the Make-A-Wish Foundation in 1980. The three facets of this Society recognize the many ways that individuals can support the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Donors receive a Chris Greicius Society pin.

	The Chris Greicius Society of Hope recognizes individual cumulative lifetime giving of $25,000 or more.
	The Chris Greicius Society of Strength recognizes individual cumulative lifetime giving of $100,000 or more.
	The Chris Greicius Society of Joy recognizes individual annual, deferred or planned giving of $10,000 or more.

Donate Frequent Flier Miles

When asked what their greatest wish might be, many Maine children begin their response with “I wish to go…”. On an average of once a week, a Maine family takes off from a local airport on the trip of a lifetime. The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Maine covers the entire cost of each trip, including airfare. We are able to do so in large part due to the generosity of those who donate their frequent flier miles. We are increasingly reliant on these air mile donations as most airlines do not offer direct donations or discounts on airline tickets.

Please call us at 236-3171 for more information on joining the Circle Of Angels or donating frequent flier miles.
