On May 4, 2024, for the ninth consecutive year, the Planet Fitness clubs in Michigan will be the presenting sponsor for Walk for Wishes, benefiting Make-A-Wish Michigan. We were excited to recently hear that over the last eight years, we have raised $737,028. These funds have helped hundreds of children with critical medical conditions receive a life-changing wish.
Working closely with the Make-A-Wish team, we learned a lot about what the granting of wishes does for these children and their families. Words like “transformational” and “life-changing” are often used to describe the impact wishes have. In fact, 89% of healthcare professionals said they believe a wish experience influences the health of the wish kid. Research tells us that the wish experience can give a child strength to fight against and even overcome a critical illness.
Right now, there are over 600 children in Michigan on the waiting list for a wish. Our support is essential to helping raise money to grant them wishes. This year, we set a goal of raising $125,000 in donations. I hope you will consider helping us. As I appreciate any help you may consider, I will double every donation up to $15,000.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Pete
