Event Wrap-up

Applebee’s has raised over $507,000 in Northeast Ohio since 2006, including $77,552 raised in 2011 alone. Applebee’s sold paper stars and coupon books in the month of October to their customers in exchange for a donation. Some locations did a dining to donate night, hosted bake sales, and mangers served an evening and donated all of their tips to Make-A-Wish. The funds raised are going to be used to grant wishes in northeast Ohio. As a special surprise, area wish families stopped in to say “Thank you” to the staff for their continued support in making wishes come true!

Ricky and Mackenzie Pasco along with family and friends have hosted the annual Ricky-Mack Give Back fundraiser for three years, raising over $19,000 to help make wishes come true for other children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Ricky and Mackenzie both received a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation and want to give back to make sure other eligible children realize their greatest wish come true. With the funds raised from their fundraiser, Ricky and Mack will be able to grant 14-year old Aislinn’s wish to go to To visit Walt Disney World® Resort with her family.

Thank you Brunswick Auto Mart Subaru for helping to fill our T.O.Y. Closet! The car dealership hosted a “Pack the Outback” Toy Drive to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana, Northeast Ohio Region from November 2011- December 2011. Thank you for bringing hope, strength, and joy to children in the community!
