Make-A-Wish® Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana (MakeA-Wish OKI) is pleased to announce that Pam Stallings, Co-Owner and VP of Marketing and Community Development of Salsarita’s Fresh Mexican Grill in Louisville, has joined the Make-A-Wish Kentucky Advisory Board.
Stallings spent three decades in a successful marketing and advertising career and eight years in the medical device industry before joining her husband as co-owner of two Salsarita’s locations in Louisville’s Middletown neighborhood, and the heart of St. Matthews. Board members like Stallings are vital to fulfilling Make-A-Wish OKI’s mission of making life-changing wishes come true for local children with critical illnesses.
“I’m so proud to be a board member and support the important work Make-A-Wish does in our community,” said Stallings. “My entire family is involved with wish-granting and we find so much joy and inspiration in seeing a smile from a child and their family enduring so much. Make-A-Wish has had an immeasurable positive impact on our family, and we look forward to staying involved and creating our own lasting memories helping others.”
Stallings earned her B.A. from the University of Louisville and earned a master’s degree in marketing and business from Webster University. As deeply rooted residents of Louisville, Stallings and her husband, Steve, are active in their local community and host regular fundraisers at their Salsarita’s locations to benefit local charitable organizations and sports teams, including Make-A-Wish OKI.
