Hello everyone!
School may be out for summer, but back-to-school season is already here! Once again, the Making It Happen Foundation and LUG along with our amazing family, friends, and supporters — are coming together to help teachers and students by clearing classroom wish lists.
Thanks to YOUR generosity and our partnership with LUG, last year was an incredible success. This year, we hope to make an even bigger impact and support even more classrooms.
Getting involved is easy:
• Select a teacher
• Click their Amazon wish list
• Purchase supplies and ship them directly
No gift is too small — every purchase, donation, prayer, share and act of support makes a difference.
Thank you to our teachers, volunteers, supporters, and to LUG for helping us bless classrooms across the country. If you have any questions or need help, please reach out! [email protected]
IF YOU WANT TO PURCHASE FOR A TEACHER:
- Visit our website www.MakingItHappenFoundation.com. Review the lists and make your selections. Ensure the “ship to” address matches the name of the teacher and is not yours!
- If you want to purchase from multiple lists, choose one person and complete your transaction before going on to the next person. If not the items will be combined in one order and shipped to one address.
- Wish list purchases should be completed by August 3.
- Thank you for your generosity and know YOU are making a difference!
