Hillcrest Educational Centers’ 2012 Holiday Wish Program is now underway. The Holiday Wish Program provides gifts for the 150 special-needs children in their care, many who are unable to spend the holidays with their family, or in some cases, the child may not have a family.  To participate please mail your donation to ‘Holiday Wish Program’; Hillcrest Educational Centers; 788 South Street; Pittsfield, MA 01201. $150 sponsors one child’s wish list, $25 will buy a gift, $10 will fill a child’s stocking.

Hillcrest President and CEO Gerard Burke said, “Participating in the Holiday Wish Program is truly making a child’s holiday brighter and it’s a way to have an immediate and direct impact on our kids.  We appreciate all the businesses and individuals in the community that have heartily supported this program for many years, despite the ups and downs of the economy.  Our five campuses each organize their own special holiday celebration for the students and it’s a privilege to be a part of them and see our students enjoy themselves.
