“Men Making a Difference” for Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Southern Florida

Many hands make any task easier and men seem to know this fact from an early age. Whether building a childhood fort or organizing a winning baseball team -- they just seem to know that teamwork is what it’s all about. This thought gave way to the idea of the “Men Making a Difference” special event fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Southern Florida.

The event will be held September 17 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the Naples Princess. The goal is to get men involved in the mission of the Make-A-Wish Foundation with a hope of granting two to three wishes for Collier County children.

Men wanting to make a difference in the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions will set sail on the Naples Princess for a unique networking event that will help make wishes come true in Collier County. During this sightseeing cruise, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy a remarkable beer tasting; savor the flavor of food prepared and provided by Shula’s Steak House; delight in a smoke prepared by a seasoned cigar roller; and relax and listen to a steel drum performance.

The “Men Making a Difference” cruise event on the Naples Princess leaves from 550 Port-O-Call Way in Naples. Tickets are $125 per person and interested parties may either call or email to RSVP. Space will be limited and early registration is suggested. Contact Lesley Colantonio at 239-992-9474, or email lcolantonio@sflawish.org.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. Twenty-eight years of magic and more than 8,000 wishes later, the Foundation continues its mission to share the power of a wish® with ailing children.
