Students with the gifted and talented program at Williamsburg Independent School presented the Make-A-Wish Foundation with a donation of $3,349.06 last Thursday during the high school’s end-of-year awards ceremony. Erin Quire (LEFT), an advancement associate with Make-A-Wish of Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio, was on hand to receive the donation. During the ceremony, Quire thanked students for their hard work. “450 families across Kentucky are waiting for a wish right now, and we have promised them a wish. 130 of those families are right here in eastern Kentucky and this money is going right to them,” said Quire. “You all should be really proud of yourselves. This is going to help a lot of families.”
