On Saturday evening February 5th, representatives from the Jeffrey
Thomas Hayden Foundation (JTHF) participated in the Make-A-Wish
fundraising event at the Manor House Conference and Banquet Center in
Mason, Ohio. Mardi Gras was the theme of the event and Sheila Gray from
Fox 19 was the master of ceremonies. The evening included dinner, silent
auction and speeches, but the highlight was the live auction. In all,
the event was declared a huge success and over $50,000 was raised to
help fund Wishes for deserving children.
JTHF and its guests helped Make-A-Wish achieve its goal by
contributing over $5,000 towards the total. Kevin Manley, Executive
Director of Make-A-Wish of Southern Ohio, said “We are grateful for the
support we received from JTHF by becoming an associate sponsor of the
event and we appreciate the generosity that their guests extended
towards our organization. The money raised will go a long way in helping
us meet our goal of granting 100 Wishes to children in our area.”
