Making A Difference: This Girl Won't Quit

On September 20th I brought you the story of Chantel Crandall, a 12 year old Junior Charger Cheerleader fundraising for the Make-A-Wish foundation. If she raises the most money she even gets to go on the field with the real charger girls and perform during a game. Kids doing fundraisers is nothing new, but the way she is doing it, why she is doing it, and the perseverance she is showing is what sets this girl apart.

You see this young lady was not one to settle for just doing the minimum entry donation to get in the program, she wanted to win. The first year she raise over $300. This year her personal goal was $1,000. Her mom had no doubt she would do it. To date she has raised $750 for her cause. What's more important is that this particular charity is one that has touched her family, not once but twice. She has had two family members receive their wishes from the Make-A-Wish foundation and believes very deeply in the cause.

This coming Saturday, on October 24th from 9am-12pm at 29224 Steamboat Dr. in Menifee, she will be having a bake sale. She will also be collecting recyclables to help her cause. Her parents are ecstatic that she is so close to her goal.

For anyone who wishes to reach out and contribute, her mother Melissa's email is mcccrandall@aol.com
