Greetings!
Thanks to your support, Jeremy Bloom's Wish of a Lifetime is off to a great start this year. We're already granting about a Wish a week for some amazing seniors. And now, we have new opportunities to grant more wishes than ever!
Jeremy Bloom's Wish of a Lifetime has just received a challenge grant from The Brin Wojcicki Foundation. The challenge grant can double the donations you make to JBWOL today! Plus, you can also support JBWOL by attending our annual gala, The Evening Affair, on July 14th in Denver. If you attended last year's sold-out event, you already know how fabulous this year's event will be as we honor Olympians from the 1948 London Olympic Games.
More Information on both the challenge grant and The Evening Affair can be found within this newsletter.
Thank you again for your wonderful support of JBWOL and creating a culture change on how Americans view aging across the USA.
Best wishes,
George Bogdewiecz
CEO

Our 4th Annual Gala is going to be more exciting than ever as we recognize members of the 1948 U.S. Olympic team who competed in London, England! Our event, themed A Night of Golden Wishes, will include granting wishes to several of these outstanding Olympians.
The 1948 Olympians overcame tremendous challenges in earning the right to represent their county. Please join us in honoring their contributions to our country and help us grant their Wish of a Lifetime!
The Evening Affair's A Night of Golden Wishes will be held at the Seawell Ballroom in Denver and includes a live and silent auction, drinks, appetizers, and a delectable dinner. Dancing will finish up an evening you will never forget!

Wishes In the News
Our first Wish Recipient of the New Year was Sherry of Federal Heights, Colorado. Sherry rang in the New year in Pasedena, California as she had her Wish granted to help decorate a float for the Rose Parade. Sherry's story is so inspiring it caught the eye of reporter Vic Lombardi; who interviewed Sherry and Jeremy on CBS Channel 4 in Denver.

Andrea, a resident of Brookdale's Richmond Place Health and Rehabilitation, was a dedicated teacher's aide, until her career was cut short by a stroke six years ago. Andrea's Wish was to visit the elementary school she taught at for 39 years and say goodbye to the students and faculty she loved so much.
