A Note From Our CEO |

February 2020
Dear ,
There is always so much
excitement here at Mikey's Way as we embark on a new year of helping kids cope with cancer. Plus, 2020 marks the 15th year that Mikey’s Way has been in
existence!
Each new year we look forward to sharing Mikey's vision and story with others: either at an uplifting event, or by sharing photos and thank you's on our social media platforms or, most importantly, by serving more young patients in more hospitals across the country.
Throughout this 15-year anniversary, we will look to honor those who have helped us come this far: our individual donors, corporate partners, contributing foundations, hospitals and volunteers. Please know how grateful we are for all of you.
This newsletter contains photos and a video that your support helped make possible. Here, you will also see highlights for the year ahead. I hope you'll
take a moment to read through it and see how you are making a very
real difference to kids with cancer – Bravo!
Warm Regards,
|

Wish List Program Update |
 | OUR WISH LIST HAS GONE DIGITAL!
We are proud to announce that as of January 1st, our participating hospitals can now submit a Mikey's Way Wish List request on our website using our new Digital Wish List Form. The new form streamlines the entire Wish List process making it easier to request and receive a Mikey's Wish List gift.
We have experienced exponential growth in our Wish List Program over the last several years and our new Digital Wish List Form will allow us to keep up with the pace of demand. This is one more way that we are leveraging your support to help more patients in more states than ever.
Helping kids cope with cancer... Mikey's Way! |

Volunteer Spotlight |
 |
EMILY WINTER AND MEGAN CEVA
Emily and Megan began volunteering for Mikey's Way in middle school and haven't slowed down since!
Both girls grew up in the same hometown as Mikey, attending the same middle school and high school, and so developed a strong connection to Mikey's story. Over the years their volunteer activities have included volunteering at events, logging hours in the office and today spreading awareness and lending their expertise in their respective "adult world" fields.
Mikey's Way remains forever indebted to Emily and Megan for helping us help kids cope with cancer... Mikey's Way!
