AUGUSTA, Ga. | Young Harris College was presented with the LeeAnn Noble Make-A-Wish Award Most Improved Award by the Peach Belt Conference.

Young Harris raised $3,389 during the 2020-21 season - an increase of 271 percent from the previous year - to earn the award..

Division II has raised more than $6.2 million toward granting the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. Almost 740 "wishes" have been granted through Division II contributions. These wishes can serve as a game changer in children's fights against their illnesses, helping them feel better, and in some cases even get better.

The PBC Make-A-Wish awards were renamed the LeeAnn Noble Make-A-Wish Awards following the 2013-14 season.  Noble was a women's golfer at the University of North Georgia and former wish recipient from Make-A-Wish.  She appeared on the cover of NCAA Champion Magazine in the fall of 2013 and sadly passed away in March of 2014.  Her dedication to the Make-A-Wish program will live on with these awards that will forever bear her name.
