Dance Or Walk To Help Make-A-Wish North Texas In March
Whether you like an evening of watching celebrities dance or a morning out for a nice walk with friends, you can help Make-A-Wish North Texas in March, at either Waltzing for Wishes in Lubbock, or Walk For Wishes in Dallas. While wishes come in all shapes and sizes, the average cost of a wish is $8,000, which makes this event all so important to helping a child with a critical illness. Whether you are a sponsor or not, your support can provide a child in your community with hope for better times and the joy of experiencing the present.
Enjoy A Magical Evening While Helping To Grant Wishes
The 9th annual Waltzing for Wishes Gala on March 21 will feature local "celebrity dancers" who are matched with a professional dance partner. After weeks of dances lessons, each dancer will show off their talents and dazzle the audience with their grace and newfound skills.
For more information on becoming a sponsor, volunteering or attending, please contact Jordan Perry at 806-785-9474 or jperry@ntx.wish.org.
