A campaign to raise $10,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation children in Cape May County has been announced by the Greater Wildwood Hotel and Motel Association
The organization is seeking at least $100 each in contributions from its membership that includes 160 hotels and motels and 180 other businesses.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation was started nationally in 1980 and its purpose is to fulfill the wishes of children who have life threatening illnesses. In Cape May County since 2004 under the direction of Rick Jones and event coordinator Cindy Dietrich , more than $210,000 has been raised for children of this county. This year’s county goal is to reach the single year mark of $100,000. Last year $86,000 was raised. The big fund raiser, called Make-A-Wish Weekend in Cape May County, will again take the form of a celebrity bartender night on May 1 at Menz Restaurant.Steve Tecco president of the Greater Wildwood Hotel and Motel Association, said contributions may be sent to the organization at 1 South Route 47, Wildwood, N.J. 08260.
“We are hoping to achieve that goal by April 30 so we may present a sizable check to the foundation in time for the Make-A-Wish fundraiser in May,” he said.
