OUR MISSION
Helping kids be kids
Elisa’s Greatest Wishes was created to honor the memory and wishes of 10 year old Elisa Nelson whose abduction and murder not only made national news, but forever changed life in sleepy little Palm Harbor, Florida.
Donations that impact our Community
It was in Elisa’s nature to help others, your donations help by raising money for things such as purchasing books for school libraries, funding scholarships and providing financial support to Girl Scouts, youth athletics, animal charities and organizations that help sick children
Our Upcoming Events
We are excited to announce that on April 4th, 2020, Sabal Trust Company, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department and JVS Contracting will be hosting the 6th annual Palm Harbor Spring Fling 5k fundraiser at Wall Springs Park in Palm Harbor to honor the memory and wishes of 10 year old Elisa Nelson. In just over 5 years, we have raised nearly $2,000,000 for charities in Elisa’s name with over $900,000 coming from last year’s race alone and thanks to the Pinellas Education Foundation, 100% of the money received went to Elisa’s adopted charities. Last year we had over 900 participants and another 100 plus volunteers and spectators and word is spreading about Elisa’s race so we expect an even bigger turnout next year.
“if I had three wishes …
these would be my greatest wishes.”
— Elisa Nelson
