Charity Ball Helps Make Wishes Come True posted 11/9/06
Gift of Life Ball raises money for Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan

ADRIAN, Mich. – Members of two Adrian College organizations, ALPHA and the Mu Zeta Chapter of Chi Omega, are coming together to offer the Gift of Life Ball on Nov. 18 at 7 p.m.. The event will help raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan, a nonprofit organization that grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses.

The Gift of Life Ball is an annual charity ball. This year all the proceeds from tickets sales and donations will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The event is scheduled in the Adrian/Tobias Room on Adrian College’s campus. The attire is semi-formal.

ALPHA stands for African-American Leaders Promoting Higher Achievement, and Chi Omega is a sorority.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Michigan is a chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, the largest wish-granting organization in the world. Since its inception in 1984, the Michigan chapter has granted wishes to more than 4,600 children and their families. More than 80 percent of Make-A-Wish expenditures are directly related to program services. To learn more, call 1-800-622-WISH or visit www.wishmich.org.

Tickets for the ball are $10 and are available for purchase from any ALPHA or Chi Omega member, or by calling Crystal Burnette at 517-264-3610.
