Spend a fine evening and do a little bit to make some dreams come true for children with life-threatening illnesses, as the Make-a-Wish Foundation and Applebee’s present the annual Make-a-Wish Gala on Wednesday, August 8. 27 local restaurants will give live cooking demonstrations, with plenty of food for all. Bid on silent auction items donated by area businesses, including furniture, artwork and gift cards to local favorites like The Andersons and Claddagh. At $10 per person, it’s more affordable than many similar benefits, but just as much fun. “I’m on a mission,” says tireless organizer Lynne Carroll. “I want to grant as many wishes as possible.” With a good turnout, she’s hoping to provide for four or five children. “Miracles do happen every day,” she says. $10 donation required at the door. 6-8:30pm.
