Straight Talk’s Give a Minute, Help Make-A-Wish Program

This is a sponsored post on behalf of Straight Talk Wireless.

We are so happy to have the opportunity to share with you how you can help the Make-A-Wish foundation  by supporting Straight Talk’s "Give a Minute, Help Make-A-Wish" program.  This September marks Straight Talk’s third year for its drive to donate up to $1 million to the Make-A-Wish foundation.  If you have a loved one who has ever been diagnosed with a serious illness, then you know how special the Make-A-Wish foundation is.

As you know I personally had Kawasaki Disease and as a result have survived two open heart surgeries.  I came close to death during my illness and would have qualified for Make-A-Wish if it had existed at the time of my illness.  This is why this program is very near and dear to my heart.

During the month of September, you can help Straight Talk donate up to $1 million to grant the wishes of deserving kids as a part of the “Give a Minute, Help Make-A-Wish” program. You can use your #WishPower to trigger donations in three ways:

1. By visiting a participating Wal-Mart store and attending a one-minute Straight Talk product demo any Saturday during September (literally takes less than a few minutes to do).
2. By sharing Wish Story videos from StraightTalkWish.com (literally takes less than a minute to do).
3. By sharing Wish Story videos posted to Straight Talk’s Facebook or Twitter channel (literally takes less than a minute to do).

By taking a little time out of your day, you can help those who need your support and help Straight Talk donate up to $1 million to the Make-A-Wish foundation.

If I find myself with extra time on my hands or if soccer practice ends early I can make a quit pit stop while we are out and about.  Peyton and I made a quick trip into our local Walmart last Saturday to support Straight Talk’s ‘Give a Minute, Help Make-A-Wish’ program by stopping at the Walmart wireless center to check out the Straight Talk product demo.  It literally took us less than 5 minutes to listen to the demo.

Too busy to stop in on Saturday?  That is ok!  If you aren’t able to stop at Walmart on a Saturday in September you can still participate online.  It is so easy to do.  Simply share a Make-A-Wish video from StraightTalkWish.com via your personal social media channels.   Each share will trigger a $1 donation to Make-A-Wish.

In fact, we are hosting a giveaway to help support this amazing cause.  

You will get an entry into the giveaway for each Wish Story video you share from StraightTalkWish.com.  Just make a comment with a link to your social share!  The giveaway is open to US residents, ages 18+ and ends on 9/30/14 at 11:59 pm ET. Help Straight Talk Wireless spread the word and you could win a special prize pack full of goodies for families on-the-go, ARV $90!

Be sure to follow Straight Talk on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
