Bid Your Wish for Wedded Bliss online auctions are a great chance for businesses to showcase their business while doing something good for someone special! Blissful Wishes Ball , our first ever cross country Galas, will take place during November at 12 locations across the country (tickets will go on sale on August 15th at www.wishuponawedding.eventbrite.com ).
The purpose of both events is to raise crucial funding for Wish Upon a Wedding.  While it’s true vendors from the wedding and hospitality industry help us  grant wishes by donating their products and services to couples facing terminal illness, there are many other costs associated with being a brand new, grass-roots nonprofit organization.Imagine how much MORE we could do for these wonderful couples if we just had the funds to:
-Reunite families by flying up to four people to and from the weddings we provide!-Put those friends or family up in a nice hotel for a few nights, further enhancing the experience.-Allow them to enjoy a nice meal the day before the wedding, or perhaps a day after brunch?

Some of the more challenging things we have to secure for these celebrations are HARD GOODS and LABOR.  While we have florists willing to design beautiful centerpieces and bouquets, the cost of flowers can be astronomical.  And while many talented caterers have offered to prepare wonderful meals for our wish recipients, things like FOOD, BEVERAGES, and LABOR are costs many small businesses cannot afford to donate (in full). With YOUR help, we will be able to provide a stipend for the wedding services that have hard costs involved in the weddings.

So, please let your readers know we are in need of their donations for our upcoming auctions and events.  You can use any of the images or information in this blog.
