The University of Minnesota Crookston Student-Athlete Advisory Committee announced earlier today that they have partnered with Make-A-Wish Minnesota.
This is one of the first partnerships, specifically with the Golden Eagle Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. President Tristan Morneault, Vice President Sarah Burgum, and future Vice President Grace Alwardt helped initiate the partnership.
The NCAA Division II is a proud national partner of Make-A-Wish America, celebrating 21 years of wish granting since 2003. Through the 2024-25 season, all 15 schools in the Northern Sun are partnered with Make-A-Wish and their different states.
Division II schools have raised over $51,000 through this school year. Arkansas-Monticello and Southern Arkansas University are leading the way in donations, each raising $10,000 or more during the 2024-25 school year.
With this partnership, Golden Eagle SAAC will hold various fundraisers and events throughout the rest of this year and into the future, which will benefit Make-A-Wish Minnesota and its great cause.
Make-A-Wish® Minnesota creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We are on a quest to bring every eligible child’s wish to life, because a wish is an integral part of a child’s treatment journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. Since 1982, Make-A-Wish Minnesota has granted more than 6,800 wishes to children in the state; more than 250 in 2024 alone.
