Making Wishes Come True with 100.3 WNIC!

On Thursday, September 14 I was honored to be a guest celebrity on 100.3 WNIC’s annual “Making Wishes Come True Radiothon” presented by Gordon Chevrolet in Garden City! I joined Kevin O’Neill and Tamie Lockheart on air to talk about my experiences with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and how I will be using my position as Miss Michigan to share the power of a wish! I was on-site during the drive home from 4 – 6 pm to sign autographs and pose for pictures in exchange for a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. I was having such a great time however, that I didn’t leave until 7:30! Many people stopped by including a former teacher, wish recipients that I had worked with, and our own Miss Sprit of the State’s Outstanding Teen Sarah Leahy and her Mom Amy! As it turns out, Kevin O’Neill is a huge fan of the Miss America Organization and couldn’t resist trying on the crown after Tamie!

This year’s event was a success! We reached our goal and raised more than $30,000 to help make wishes come true for children across Michigan.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this event possible including Kevin O’Neill, Tamie Lockheart, Lou Dallman and the entire WNIC team, Gordon Chevrolet, and of course everyone who called in and made a pledge. I also want to thank Jeanette and Meredith at the Make-A-Wish Foundation for including me in this fantastic event!
