Wish Week is Coming!

Dear DC Community,

Our annual Douglas County Wish Week is quickly approaching, beginning January 29th. Each year, this meaningful event unites our community to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, helping to grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Throughout the week, we will host a variety of restaurant nights and community events, with all proceeds directly benefiting Make-A-Wish.

At this time, we are seeking local sponsors to partner with us in making this year’s event our most impactful yet. If you or your organization are interested in supporting our cause, please use the link below, and a member of our team will reach out to you soon.



Wish Week | Sponsor Interest Form



Companies that make significant contributions will be recognized on the official Wish Week t-shirt and featured on our Douglas County High School website as valued sponsors.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of children and families in need. If you have any questions regarding sponsorship opportunities or the Wish Week event, please contact Shaina Jewell for assistance.
