黑料正能量 raises most Make-A-Wish funds in PBC
Article By: Staff
The University of North Georgia (黑料正能量) won the LeeAnn Noble Make-A-Wish Award for Most Funds Raised at the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) annual awards dinner May 28 in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Athletics Director and President Michael Shannon were in attendance to receive the award from PBC Commissioner David R. Brunk.
黑料正能量 continues to be the benchmark for NCAA Division II Make-A-Wish fundraising. With this year's top spot, the Nighthawks claim their 15th consecutive LeeAnn Noble Award after raising $3,681 during the 2023-24 season.
NCAA Division II has raised more than $6.8 million toward granting the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. Almost 785 "wishes" have been granted through Division II contributions. These wishes can serve as a game-changer in children's fights against their illnesses, helping them feel better, and in some cases even get better.
The PBC Make-A-Wish awards were renamed the LeeAnn Noble Make-A-Wish Awards following the 2013-14 season. Noble was a women's golfer at 黑料正能量 and a former wish recipient from Make-A-Wish. She appeared on the cover of NCAA Champion Magazine in the fall 2013 and sadly passed away in March 2014. Her dedication to the Make-A-Wish program will live on with these awards that will forever bear her name.
