Make-A-Wish® Foundation of Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia

Altoona Area High School

Altoona Area High School students recently presented a $1,500 check to the Make-A-Wish Foundation after a successful powder puff football game on November 23. Seniors Miles Edmiston and Carly Parris organized the event, sponsored by Giant Eagle of Altoona, in cooperation with Phil Riccio, AASD director of athletics.  The money was raised by having each participant pay an entry fee and through the sale of admission tickets and concessions.
