GREA President's Project for 2024-2025: Make-A-Wish Foundation
President Shirley Grant's project for the 2024-2025 year is Make-A-Wish, Georgia. To support the president's project, the Chatham Retired Educators Association hopes to participate in various activities around the County. "Make-A-Wish traces its inspiration to Christopher James Grecius and energetic 7-year-old boy battling leukemia who wishes to be a police officer. In 1980, his Phoenix community came together to make his wish come true. Little did Chris know that his wish would create a movement that would transform millions of lives."
