I accepted the role of honoree<br />
because I appreciate that all the<br />
money raised helps children in<br />
Mississippi. It is an amazing cause<br />
to put a smile on the face of children<br />
and families going through the most<br />
challenging time of their life.<br />
Community is extremely important<br />
to me, along with giving back to the<br />
community. Make-A-Wish Mississippi<br />
makes such a huge impact on so<br />
many lives and it is an amazing honor<br />
to be a part of that process.<br />

Owner<br />
When I was in the Disney College<br />
Program in 1995, I volunteered with<br />
the Make-A-Wish program’s<br />
Parent’s Night Out and it was a really<br />
rewarding opportunity for me as a<br />
college student that I will never<br />
forget. I have always loved fundraising<br />
opportunities, and I feel that I have<br />
been given the opportunity to know<br />
so many generous individuals that<br />
love to support this type of event.<br />
Together, in the past, we have been<br />
able to accomplish great things!<br />
From this experience, I am excited<br />
to be able to contribute to fulfilling<br />
a wish through my efforts.<br />

Dental Group<br />
Co-Owner/ Dentist<br />
I am truly humbled to have been<br />
thought of as someone who would<br />
represent this organization well. It<br />
gives me so much joy to know that<br />
others see me as someone who<br />
continues to use my God-given<br />
talents and abilities to bless others<br />
beyond just my practice. It is an<br />
incredible honor to not only have<br />
the opportunity to raise money and<br />
bring awareness to this great cause<br />
but also to do it alongside such<br />
amazing women who inspire and<br />
motivate me to be a better version<br />
of myself. Having worked with the<br />
Make-A-Wish foundation previously<br />
and being passionate about continuing<br />
to use my platform to bring awareness<br />
and smiles to others in our state and<br />
community, I knew this would be an<br />
incredible opportunity to make a<br />
difference by doing just that. I hope<br />
to leave this experience feeling as<br />
though I was successful in meeting<br />
the goals that we set. I pray that even<br />
one life will be changed for the better.<br />
My mentor, Dr. Heber Simmons, Jr.<br />
always said to “leave the woodpile<br />
higher than you found it.” I look<br />
forward to meeting and working<br />
with other women who share this<br />
mission and like-mindedness.<br />

Association<br />
Executive Director<br />
It is such an honor to be able to serve<br />
others in this capacity as a W.I.S.H.<br />
Society honoree because I desire to<br />
help others. I accepted the role of<br />
honoree without hesitation to be<br />
able to help make a difference in the<br />
lives of critically ill children and see<br />
their wishes become a reality. I have<br />
always had a servant leadership heart<br />
and I am committed to helping<br />
others. From this experience, I strive<br />
to help a child’s dream be fulfilled.<br />
