ABC Greater Michigan Chapter will host its 39th annual Great Lakes Bay Regional Fundraiser to Benefit Make-A-Wish set for Friday, April 17 at the Great Hall, Midland. Guests are welcome to join the community in honoring past and current Wish Kids who are bravely facing their health challenges.
Honorary chair, Kristin Knoll, Executive Director of the Covenant HealthCare Foundation, will join attendees to experience the power of gifting hope and granting wishes. A wish granting helps kids look past their limitations, families overcome anxiety and entire communities experience more joy. Most importantly, wishes can improve a child’s quality of life.
As a member of the Great Lakes Bay Region, Knoll feels honored to be this year’s Make-A-Wish honorary chair and show her gratitude to everyone that is helping to raise awareness and funds for an organization that grants life-changing wishes to local children with critical illnesses.
“I’m honored to be this year’s honorary chair for Make-A-Wish Michigan. One thing I love about Make-A-Wish is that it gives kids and families a moment not to think about the challenges they carry every day. Everyone has struggles, but not everyone makes them visible for all to see. By raising awareness and support, we can ensure kids in our community have a chance to make their wish come to life,” she said.
“Join me for the 39th year of this local event, so we can help bring joy to our neighbors going through a tough time,” Knoll added.
This year’s theme is Bloom & Believe! To experience the power of gifting hope and believing in our local Wish Kiddos, join us at the event and dress in your finest floral or spring-inspired attire.
Tickets are $70 (advance purchase by April 15), $25 for kids ages 6-18, free for kids 5 and under, and include dinner, entertainment by The Rock Show band, silent and live auctions and more!
