In honor of World Wish Month, join the Make-A-Wish Young Professionals Program and the Junior Board for a fun-filled night of live music and drinks to raise money to grant the wish of a child with a critical illness at Red Lion on Thursday, April 25th for Music Makes Wishes!
Prominent NYC cover band, Men or Myth (www.menormyth.com), will be hosting the night as the house band. For those generous guests brave enough to hit the stage, we will also be offering LIVE BAND KARAOKE throughout the night for a rare chance to live out your Rock Star fantasies by singing your favorite song with the band!
As a member of the Junior Board of Make-A-Wish Metro New York and as a wish granter volunteer, I have had the opportunity to see first-hand the immense positive impact that wishes have on children and their families. A wish is more than simply a fun experience, it is hope. In a world of physical limitations, constant doctor appointments, and perhaps a limited period of time on this earth, the wish experience is truly a vacation from reality and the opportunity for the child to forget about their troubles and to dream big and for their family to share in the fun. Wishes impact everyone involved- wish kids, their families, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals and communities. The impact varies. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy. Whatever the odds, whatever the obstacles…wishes find a way to make the world better.
Your donation will help grant the wish of a critically ill child in the NY Metro area. Make-A-Wish grants thousands of wishes each year. A lot, yes, but that’s only 50% of eligible kids. Your donation will help additional deserving children and their families know the happiness, relief, and renewal a wish can bring.
Thank you so much for your generosity!
Sincerely,
Mike Knuff
