Wish List Dream Maker Profile

Geri Wegner 

 

Geri Wegner has volunteered at Fairchild for over three years as a shuttle driver. If you have ever been on one of Geri’s shuttle rides, you know that she is passionate about Fairchild. Recently, Geri saw that Fairchild was in need of a new shuttle golf cart and decided to help with a generous contribution. Fairchild was able to use Geri’s donation to help secure a matching grant that not only allowed Fairchild to buy one golf cart, but three! Thanks to Geri’s generosity, Fairchild now has three new, solar powered shuttles. Geri recently made yet another amazing contribution to Fairchild’s wish list by contributing funds towards two new laptops and one high-powered projector. We wish to thank Geri for her consistent generosity, volunteering and for her undying love of Fairchild. Thank you, Geri!
