Grant a “Wish Upon A Star” for the Holidays with PARC
Spread a little holiday cheer by supporting the Office of Student Affairs in our 15th year teaming up with PARC’s Wish Upon A Star Gift Program.
PARC is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide opportunities for children and adults with developmental disabilities to exercise their independence and experience life to the fullest with the goal of turning disabilities into capabilities.
PARC’s Wish Upon A Star Gift Program enhances the quality of life for over 800 adults and children with various disabilities. Having a gift to open and a “wish fulfilled” brings smiles to those who are so fortunate to support. All you have to do is choose a star off the tree and fulfill “a wish” for a very special person at PARC.
The Stars are available in the Office of Student Affairs for students, faculty, and staff to choose from, and those unable to come to campus are still able to participate remotely – simply review the below list, let us know which star you are picking, and have your gift mailed.
Please ensure all gifts are in the Office of Student Affairs by Thursday, December 1st.
You may participate in one of the following ways:
- Order the gift online and have it sent to
Student Affairs Wish
1401 61st Street South
Gulfport, FL 33707
We will wrap the gift and deliver to PARC - Bring a monetary donation to the Office of Student Affairs and we will do the shopping, wrap the gift and drop off to PARC
- Stop by Student Affairs and select a gift tag, shop and return the wrapped gift by December 1.
Select your Gift tag number below, email Student Affairs with your name and the Gift tag number and let us know if you will be mailing your gift, dropping it off or bringing a monetary donation for us to do the shopping.
