Thanks to everyone’s gracious support over the years, our “grass roots” charity has donated more than $160,000 to the
Make-A-Wish Foundation
of the Mid-Atlantic, which has helped to grant the wishes of 26 children. That’s truly remarkable! Our hope is to get your support this year so we can grant wishes to at least two children who face life-threatening medical conditions and whose families endure countless hospital visits and overwhelming hardships.
Yeah, the economy sucks and everyone is tightening their belt - except for me and my bloated self.
Donations to most charitable organizations are down.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation
of the Mid-Atlantic was ecstatic at what we were able to do last year. The economy sucked last year too. But our government is going to save us all.
The majority of our revenues come from sponsors. Our hole sponsorships are $250 and include signage on a golf hole and a host of other promotions. PLEASE help me in any way you can to get sponsorships. This can include soliciting your company, your accountant, your business vendors/suppliers, your ex-husband, your attorney and ANY restaurants you frequent. In addition to the hole sponsorships, we can use merchandise donations (gift certificates, sports memorabilia, “stuff” for the goodie bags) that we use for the raffle, silent auction, prizes and the golfer goodie bags.
Please email Steve Mowrey if you can help. I’ll look forward to seeing you on what Chad is promising to be a spectacular day (he’s been working over Mother Nature for years now - he must have pissed her off that one year).
Experience how truly wonderful and magical it is to make dreams come
true!
It’s hard to believe we lost Chad so long ago and and have been
without him for over fourteen years. This year also marks nine years
since losing Alyssa Matus in the fall of 2001. It’s time for all of
us to join together again in remembering Chad and Alyssa.
Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Mid-Atlantic
Through your support last year, we helped to make Foster and Robert’s wishes come true! Twelve-year-old Foster is from Gwynn Oak, MD and his favorite thing in the world is wrestling. Foster and his family attended the 25th Anniversary of Wrestle-Mania in Houston, TX. In addition to attending the big event, Foster was inducted into the WWE/Make-A-Wish® Circle of Champions!
Robert is a 15-year-old music lover from Forest Hill, MD. His wish was to have a Gibson SG’61 re-issue electric guitar and equipment to create a guitar recording studio. That is just what he received, along with an iMac computer with recording software, a microphone, headphones, and amp. Each wish provides a diversion from hospital visits and medical treatments and enriches the human experience with hope, strength and joy.
Our hope is that you will become, or continue to be, a part of this very special cause. Please consider joining us for golf and, if you’re not a golfer, you can support us by attending the banquet or sending us a donation.
Come and join us. Be inspired with us. Experience how truly wonderful and magical it is to make wishes come true!
Hottest summer regards,
Chad Blum Memorial Charities Board of Directors
