Vintage Snowmobile Auction
01/31/09
The Vintage Snowmobile Show and Auction, held in Waconia, raised an incredible $6,000 for Make-A-Wish! Thank you to the event organizers, attendees, sponsors and donors for helping to raise the funds to grant the wish of a child in Minnesota with a life-threatening illness.
“My Wish” is often the highlight of what the child wants to talk about when they come to their regular appointments with me. I love to see the photo albums of the realization of these wishes – whether it is getting a hug from Snow White, holding up a larger than life size halibut from a deep sea fishing expedition or visit to the John Deere tractor factory.
