Surprise Wish Reveal to Kick-Off First-Ever Waffles & Wishes Breakfast Hosted by Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana
HOUSTON, TX (SEPTEMBER 16, 2024) – Over 70 new WishMakers will join Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana on Tuesday, September 17, 2024, at the Truluck’s Galleria location for the first-ever Waffles and Wishes Breakfast.
“This past year, we celebrated one of our most successful years in our 40-year history, granting a pivotal 601 wishes,” said Shelly Millwee, CEO/President of Make-A-Wish Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana. “The impact our mission creates in this community is magical, and that shined through our work this past year. By hosting this breakfast, our hope is to engage more of the community to help grant the wishes of more than 1,200 wish kids who are waiting for their wish to be granted.”
This inaugural event will welcome community leaders across the Greater Houston area who are excited to learn more about granting wishes and the life-changing work Make-A-Wish plays in our community. On top of learning about wish granting, guests will be in for a surprise when they learn that they will be part of a live wish reveal.
“There is nothing more impactful than seeing the smile on a child’s face when they learn their wish is being granted. We are excited to surprise our guests with this opportunity to experience the power of a wish firsthand,” said Millwee.
