HONORING A LEGEND 💙

In 1994, Dolly Parton granted our chapter’s very first wish for 13-year-old Verena.

Since then, more than 8,000 wishes have been granted across Central and Northern Florida, creating countless moments of hope, joy and unforgettable memories for children with critical illnesses. ✨

Dolly’s connection to our chapter’s wish kids continued through the years, including Freya’s wish to visit Dollywood last year.

We’re grateful to Dolly for being a meaningful part of our history. One wish started our chapter’s story, and its impact continues to this day. 💙

Christmas in July was one for the books! We’re so grateful to the FL6G Club, Bozard Ford, and Mervin Tapiador for bringing our community together and raising more than $18,000 for Make-A-Wish Central and Northern Florida through their Christmas in July event! 💙⭐
