Savannah's 2nd Wish

About Us

Savannah's Second Wish, Inc. is a not-for-profit pediatric cancer organization formed in 2004 in memory of six-year old Savannah Olson who battled cancer on and off for over three years.

Two goals of Savannah's Second Wish are:

  • to provide get-a-ways for children at Advocate Hope Children's Hospital whose cancer has recurred
  • to offer scholarships to graduating high school seniors.

Savannah's Second Wish board of directors have been affected directly by Savannah Olson's fight against recurrent childhood cancer.

Board of Directors:
Amy Olson, Executive Director, Savannah's Mom
Katrina Masek, President, Savannah's kindergarten teacher
Tricia Schlosser, Vice-President, Savannah's aunt
Becky Leppert, Co-Treasurer, Savannah's first-grade teacher
Megan Mayne, Co-Treasurer, Savannah's student aide
Rachel Olson, Recording Secretary, Savannah's aunt
