All the proceeds from a silent auction held at its five-day show earlier this month went toward the charity and helped fund a week-long trip to Disney World for a seven-year-old girl named Massiel, along with her family. Massiel is non-verbal and wheelchair-bound.
“We’re proud to partner with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida for such a worthy cause,” said Andrea Canady, fair director of the Original Miami Beach Antique Show. “Partnering with this amazing organization has enabled us to give back to the Miami community that we have been a part of for the past 50 years in a very meaningful way. We’re very excited to contribute a substantial amount to help children’s wishes come true.”
Foundation president and chief executive officer (CEO) Norman Wedderburn said forging relationships with partners like the antique show go a long way to helping make dreams come true.
“We at the foundation are truly grateful for the efforts of the Original Miami Beach Antique Show,” he said. “We look forward to the opportunity to work with the show and their partners for years to come. Together, we will bring hope, strength, and joy to children right here in our local community.”
