Sno-King Youth Club Receives WISH Fund to Replace Vandalized Goal
EDMONDS, WA, October 9, 2019: The Edmonds Chamber Foundation is proud to announce the first recipient of the newly established WISH Fund.
This past month Sno-King Youth Club found one of their brand new soccer goals had been vandalized and damaged beyond repair. As a small non-profit organization operating on a tight budget, the cost to replace equipment is not an easy one to absorb.
“The Edmonds Chamber Foundation is excited to support a local organization who works with our youth, providing positive experiences for over 8,000 kids in the community” said Anne Penny, Edmonds Chamber Foundation board member. “Thank you to our generous community who have donated to the Edmonds Chamber Foundation supporting local scholarships and the WISH Fund.”

About the WISH Fund
The Edmonds Chamber Foundation created the WISH (When Inconvenient Stuff Happens) Fund to help businesses get back on their feet after they experience a theft, disaster or damage. The program is intended to assist in disaster recovery when an incident is not covered by insurance, a business is under-insured, or the damages are less than their deductible.
The WISH Fund is in keeping with the Chamber Foundation’s mission to support the economic, recreational, and educational interests of the Edmonds area business community and its citizens. The WISH Fund will be able to quickly respond to requests under $1,000, with larger requests subject to the availability of funds and a more thorough application process.
WISH Fund recipients are chosen by a committee comprised of Chamber Foundation board members and Edmonds Chamber staff. Recipients must apply for the funding, supply necessary documentation, and meet the basic criteria of the fund.
