Dear Friends and Family,

As you know, every year for the last 19 years, I’ve reached out to family and friends asking for their generous support of a passion of mine and my family’s - the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  

Not this year.

This year, I’m asking you to:

(1) save your generous contribution;

(2) consider joining us on May 20, 2017 at the Make-A-Wish Foundation Black Tie Gala at the Ritz Carlton in downtown DC - which Laura and I will be co-chairing.  PLEASE SAVE THE DATE NOW.

(3) Attend our gala kick-off party on Thursday, September 29 from 7-9 pm at Kit & Ace in Bethesda (invite attached).  Feel free to bring friends.

In 2017 I’ll be celebrating 20 years of working to bring hope, strength and joy to courageous children in the DC Metro area fighting life-limiting illnesses.  To celebrate, Laura and I have agreed to be the Co-Chairs of this gala.

We hope you can join us on May 20, 2017 for an UNFORGETTABLE night of fun, charity and hope.  

Gratefully,

Mike
