I am privileged enough to say I am on the board of the first chapter of St. Louis Wish Upon A Wedding. Wish Upon A Wedding is the first nonprofit wedding granting organization that helps give those who are fighting for their life get the wedding they’ve always dreamed of. Our Mission is dedicated to granting weddings to couples who are facing terminal illness, regardless of sexual orientation.
The St. Louis Launch party was held June 16th at Lumen Private Event Space, downtown St. Louis tied with a Caribbean- Chic theme. We had over 30 vendors that donated their goods and services, which helped make the party a success with over 160 guests! Lacy Branch, our St. Louis chapter president gave a very compassionate speech…not a dry eye in the room! Our next big event will be our Gala on November 14th more information will soon come!
The St. Louis chapter’s board is full of talented people in the event industry. However, you do not have to be in the industry to help. Here are a few ways to get involved; donate money, donate airline miles, volunteer as a committee member, online social network, become a wish granter, donate products and the wishing well. Oh and listen up Brides, you can help too by doing In Lieu of Favors or Gifts! So far the outreach nationwide is tremendous but we can always use more help. Please go to Wish Upon A Wedding to see how you can help.
