Wish List

We are trying to include some unique and fun items that we have never had before and some that we have had before.  What do we need???

  1. Do you have contacts to get a kid on the set of a Disney or Nickelodeon show filming (e.g., Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Hannah Montana)? 
  2. Do you have enough American, Delta, United or other airline miles to get two people to Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, San Diego, or Scottsdale?  Would you be willing to donate those miles?  We need 3 roundtrips for 2 to complete some packages we have put together. 
  3. Do you have another idea for a unique experience you can help us with?
  4. Do you or a friend/relative have a cool job for which you would be willing to take some kids or parents “behind the scenes”? (From doctors to manufacturing to high tech, e.g., Yahoo, car manufacturing, Sees Candies.)
  5. Do you have a contact at a Napa winery that could get us a private tour and tasting or a night in the on-site cottage?

If you have any great ideas, please grab Kim Thompson or other committee members in the hallway or email benefit@hillcrestpta.org, or leave a note in the Benefit Envelope in the office or hallway by the school entrance.  The committee is always available for great ideas. 

THANKS TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU FOR MAKING HILLCREST THE BEST!
