District 123 Annual Make-A-Wish Volleyball Tournament

Over the last 8 years, Oak Lawn-Hometown Middle School has raised over $310,000 for the Make-a-Wish Foundation of Illinois. Through this effort, we have been able to grant 59 wishes to local children who have life-threatening illnesses. Our campaign this year will begin with our annual Volleyball Tournament to be held on Friday, February 8th, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at OLHMS.

Advanced ticket sales will take place from Wednesday, January 30th, thru Wednesday, February 6th. Admission is $3.00 for adults and $2.00 for students. Tickets will be sold at the door as well.

The competing teams will include the District 123 board members, 7th & 8th grade volleyball teams, OLHMS staff, and members of the Oak Lawn Police and Fire Departments.

Our walk-a-thon will take place on Friday, May 10th.

We hope you will join us on the 8th of February for an evening of fun while supporting this most worthwhile cause!

Cure cabin fever. Come out and help Make A Wish. Our school is recognized nationally for their fund raising efforts. This fun filled night not only brings the community together it helps raise money for children that deserve a wish to be granted.
