FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE DUNES RESORT HELPS TO MAKE WISHES COME TRUE THROUGH FUNDRAISER FOR MAKE-A-WISH^®  MICHIGAN.

October 9, 2012 – Members, guests, neighbors and friends from the Dunes Resort in Saugatuck & Douglas are coming together for the “Wishes & Dreams Come True” Show & Silent Auction on Saturday October 20, 2012 9:30pm, to help raise funds for Make-A-Wish Michigan – a nonprofit organization that grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses. 

The Annual October Make-A-Wish Show brings together the states best in Female Impersonation and generous donations from area businesses for a drag show and silent auction.  Entertainer tips, door cover ($5) and monies raised during the silent auction help to grant a wish to a child in need.

“This event continues to be one of the highlights of the year and we have been fortunate in the past to help grant partial & full wishes to a multitude of children - all because our community comes out in support of this great organization. It’s a guaranteed great Show and the local business community is always so generous in their offerings for the silent auction.  How can you say no to a child in need,” asks Mike Jones, one of the owners of the Dunes.

The Dunes Resort is the Midwest’s Largest GLBT Resort & Entertainment Complex located in Saugatuck/Douglas, MI.  For over 30 years the Dunes has been involved in raising money for a variety of local, regional and national organizations. 

For more information on this event or how to get involved, contact Mike Jones 269-857-1401.
