Hello Franklin Fish Families,

We’re thrilled to announce our first-ever Swim-a-Thon Fundraiser—benefiting Make-A-Wish Colorado—and we’d love your support in helping us make a meaningful difference in the life of a very special child.

🌟 Meet Berkley

Berkley is a joyful and courageous 4-year-old who was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, a critical congenital heart defect that caused the left side of her heart to be severely underdeveloped. Despite facing more medical challenges than most people do in a lifetime, Berkley continues to shine with strength, resilience, and a dream that’s waiting to come true.

This year, Berkley is our Wish Child, and she lives right here in the Centennial area. In her honor, our Franklin Fish team is diving in with a fundraising goal of $3,400—enough to help grant a life-changing wish for a child like Berkley.

🐟 Why Your Support Matters

All proceeds raised go directly to Make-A-Wish Colorado, helping grant wishes for children across the state. While funds do not go directly to Berkley’s specific wish, she represents the kinds of incredible kids whose lives are touched by your generosity. Every dollar raised brings joy, hope, and healing to children facing critical illnesses.
