CEO of Make-A-Wish chapter admits embezzling from charity for sick children

Jennifer Woodley pleads guilty to taking nearly $41,000 using foundation credit card and unapproved bonuses and salary increases

The former CEO of a Make-A-Wish chapter in Iowa has pleaded guilty to charges of embezzling tens of thousands of dollars from the charity that supports sick children and their families.

Jennifer Woodley admitted in a written guilty plea last week that she made unauthorized charges on a foundation credit card, gave herself an unapproved bonus and salary increases and made false entries into foundation records related to those expenses.
