BIGWish Gala to Feature Rascal Flatts

Superstar trio Rascal Flatts will perform a private concert at the BIGWish Silver Anniversary Gala celebration benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. The May 9 event on the 50-yard line of the famed Ohio Stadium at The Ohio State University is expected to draw more than 800 guests from the tri-state area and raise $1 million. Several volunteers and supporters will make the trip to Columbus, according to Executive Director Juli Miller.  According to Miller, the Indiana Region, which merged with the Greater Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana Chapter in 2005, grants approximately 260 wishes annually. Guests will enjoy a gourmet dinner, a spectacular auction featuring priceless “grown up” wish experiences: playing a round of golf with Jack Nicklaus, sitting among the stars at the 2009 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, driving a Formula One race car in Barcelona, Spain, and other unique packages. Major sponsors include Fifth Third Bank, Kahiki Foods, Kokosing,  Medical Mutual of Ohio, NetJets and Trane Commercial Systems. Corporate sponsorships and tickets to the BIGWish Gala are still available. Individual tickets are available for $400 each; tables are available for $3,000-$10,000. Volunteers are needed May 2-8 for load in and set-up and load out and clean-up May 10-12. To learn more, call (877) 206-WISH or click here.
