Houston Volunteer Meeting and Awards

To kick-off this fabulous event, we heard from Tommy Austin, co-founder of Make-A-Wish as he shared why volunteers are at the front line of granting every wish.

We also heard from Young Leader Board member and Wish alumna, Anna King, who shared how her wish experience resonates daily in her life. We want to give special recognition to Carlos Molina, Marisa Buchman, Felicia Diaz, and Peggy Spivey for 10 years of service. Additionally, thank you to Katie Chandler and Kimmie Longstreet for 15 years of service. Lastly, congratulations to Don Pannel for 20 years of service.

We are so grateful to Kelly Sweeney-Pitts who was nominated as Volunteer of the Year. Although she is a new volunteer, having joined in July 2022, she has granted 40 wishes including more than a dozen shopping sprees.

We were honored to recognize our hardworking volunteers who have selflessly given their time to help provide strength, joy and hope to each of our Wish kids.Â
