Nonprofit producing Walk for Wishes

A nonprofit that works with critically ill children is hosting a fundraiser walk in town this weekend.

Make-A-Wish Michigan, based in Grand Rapids, will host its annual Walk for Wishes on Saturday at John Ball Zoo, at 1300 Fulton W.

Registration begins at 7:30 a.m., and the 1.5-mile walk through the zoo begins at 9:30 a.m.

There is no fee for those who register online before Thursday. After that, registration is available the day of the race for $25.

Those who register online have a fundraising page where donors can contribute money to Make-A-Wish. Registered walkers who have raised the most money are listed on the walk’s fundraising page.

The fundraiser had earned nearly 60 percent of its $220,000 goal at press time.
