(Vote for Happy Wheels daily until August 23, 2019 at 11:59 pm ET here: https://www.neighborhoodassist.com/entry/2024693.)
From Happy Wheels:
During this 10-day event, supporters are asked to vote daily up until Aug. 23. 2019, at 11:59pm ET. The top 40 vote-receiving causes will be awarded a $25,000 grant. Happy Wheels is one of three South Carolina-based non-profit organizations to be selected to be eligible for the grant.
“The grant would provide a lasting impact in our community by allowing us to expand our services for exceptionally ill children, and in turn, help build a more positive charitable community. Tracey Rankin, Happy Wheels executive director, said. “Organizations from across the nation are competing for this amazing grant support. Let’s bring these dollars home to the Palmetto State for our kids!”
Happy Wheels makes rounds to each inpatient room, at all three SC children’s hospitals each week, with a cheerfully decorated surgical cart filled with new books and toys. Each child picks out a brand-new toy or book of their choice every week for the duration of their admission—they keep the gifts and take them home! Happy Wheels helps turn a frightening hospital experience into a positive one. Happy Wheels is 100% donor driven and all funding is invested into the organization's current operations. In 2018, we served 9,887 children throughout South Carolina.
State Farm Neighborhood Assist® is a crowd source philanthropic initiative that empowers communities to identify issues in their neighborhoods. The State Farm® Review Committee selected the Top 200 finalists from more than 2,000 submissions.
