Help me Make Magic Moments at Wish Ball 2024!
For those of you who know me, you know one of my greatest passions is teaching children! I have had the privilege of working with them in some way for over 12 years. Most of these children have been happy, healthy mini humans with no worries. In 2015, I wanted to take my love for volunteering and mix it with helping children who may not be as fortunate.
I began volunteering with Make A Wish Illinois and immediately saw just how impactful an organization can be! I soon after joined the committee that plans Wish Ball, Make A Wish Illinois chapter's largest fundraising event. I work directly with the families who have received a wish and to hear their testimonies of how their wish has changed their lives is absolutely incredible and humbling. Being able to look forward to their wish gives them hope and happiness while navigating the hardships they face.
Wish Ball 2024 will be held on May 18th at Navy Pier and will feature celebrity guest, Jim Gaffigan, along with Wish alum, dinner, drinks, live entertainment, and both a silent & live auction!
This year's Wish Ball theme is Make Magic Moments. I am asking for donations to help "make magic moments" for each child referred to Make A Wish. Every dollar raised goes towards granting a wish!
Thank you kindly for your support,
