Midland, MI – Associated Builders and Contractors – Greater Michigan Chapter is pleased to announce having raised $38,000 at the 2026 fundraising event benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan.
Since the chapter began working with Make-A-Wish as part of its ABC Cares initiative, they have raised over $709,350 allowing wishes to be granted to more than 92 area children.
“Being part of this event is something I look forward to every year. It’s incredible to see our volunteers, sponsors, and community come together with one shared purpose, to help make a child’s wish come true. Knowing we’re making a difference in the lives of these families is incredibly rewarding, and it’s even more special because we get to do it alongside such generous and caring people and ABC members,” said Cathy Geiger, director of marketing & community affairs of ABC Greater Michigan.
The event was held in April at The Great Hall Banquet & Conference Center, with The Rock Show as the entertainment.
