Ride
for Life
ATV enthusiasts
set out on a 180 mile ride from Wendover to Tooele and back in efforts to raise
money to grant wishes. Their efforts paid off, as they raised over $30,000 through
their event. Joined by wish recipient Jed, ride participants enjoyed a variety
of festivities during the two day event.
Parade
of Homes
The
partnership between the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Salt Lake Parade of Homes
continues to grow each year. For the third year, builders have volunteered to
honor wish kids by designing a room inspired by their wish. Through the efforts
of the Salt Lake Home Builders Association and KSL, a record amount of $32,000
was raised for the Foundation this year.
Tashi
Open
Justin
Woodland organized a very successful tournament again this year. Participants
in the tournament had a great time and generously opened their wallets to raise
$15,000 that will grant three wishes for Utah children. As a wish dad, Justin
knows just how important his efforts are to all of those who receive such magical
wishes.
Riders
For Wishes
Zion
Harley Davidson, Washington County Board of Realtors, and volunteers organized
a fun event last May that generated over $2,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Participants enjoyed a scenic ride, food, prizes, and more!
Wasatch
Pediatrics
The
annual efforts of Wasatch Pediatrics to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation
of Utah, were undoubtedly as strong as ever this year! Through numerous events,
they were able to raise more than $6,000 this year. Their on-going support to
grant wishes for children they care for at their clinics is sincerely appreciated.
Huntsville
Garage Sale
This
fundraising event is a wonderful example of a community gathering together for
a cause. The amount of support and participation this garage sale produced is
truly amazing. The event, which was started in 1999, gets bigger each year, raising
$3,500 for a wish this year. The event organizer, Elizabeth Stitt, was away on
a mission this year, so friends and neighbors kept it going strong in her absence.
American
Family Insurance
An
amazing turnout for the Annual American Family golf tournament generated nearly
$20,000 to go towards grant-ing wishes! This tournament gets better and better
every year!
