RUMMELE’S GIVES BACK
RUMMELE’S JEWELERS IS HONORED TO BE A PART OF MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE
T ogether, we grant life-changing wishes for local kids battling critical illnesses. A wish experience creates a turning point for a child living with a critical illness. This one belief guides us in everything we do at Make-A-Wish ® Wisconsin. Currently, there are over 500 local kids awaiting their greatest wish come true and we are working hard to ensure that we can grant a life-changing wish for every medically qualified local child. We could not do this important work without our compassionate supporters like Tracy Alpert, President & Owner of Rummele’s Jewelers! Tracy is a dedicated member of our Gourmet Wishes signature event leadership committee and has been since the event’s inception more than 20 years ago. This year’s spectacular event was held on October 11th at the Resch Expo overlooking Lambeau Field. More than 650 guests enjoyed a spectacular evening filled with incredible gourmet food, desserts, martinis, wines and craft beers. The area’s finest establishments participated and served their best, like
Republic Chophouse; Taverne in the Sky at Lodge Kohler; Mangiare and Cheese Cake Heaven, to name a few. Plus, guests enjoyed live music, an impressive auction, an inspiring program and more! Tracy is such a wonderful advocate for Make-A-Wish Wisconsin and inspires others to experience the magic of providing transformative hope, strength and great joy to local kids living with critical illnesses through the power of a wish! Tracy and Rummele’s Jewelers generously support our important mission by donating incredible items and experiences to help raise critical funds through our auction. This year, Rummele’s Jewelers was proud to donate $100 for every Breitling watch that was sold at the EAA AirVenture show that was hosted in Oshkosh this last July. Rummele’s graciously donated a total of $5,000 through the watch sales to Make-A-Wish Wisconsin in order to grant one life-affirming wish come true!
“We often hear from parents about how the wish journey makes an incredible impact on their child’s mental, emotional, and physical heath. This is all possible because of our compassionate supporters like Tracy and Rummele’s Jewelers who open their hearts to making wishes come true!” – Kris Teofilo, Senior Regional Director, Make-A-Wish Wisconsin Meet sweet 7-year-old Autumn from Green Bay who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Autumn’s special wish was to spend a magical week at Walt Disney World® Resort. Thanks to the amazing support of Tracy Alpert and Rummele’s Jewelers, we were able to grant Autumn’s greatest wish come true! “This trip allowed us to get away from all of the stress and struggles that come from a life dealing with cancer treatments. We were able to celebrate our daughter and how far she has come. Being able to spend this time as a family away from the dark thoughts of treatment and hospitals was something we desperately needed. Autumn was able to experience things that she would not have been able to without this trip. This is definitely something she will never forget & we will hold these memories for a lifetime.” There are many inspiring ways to get involved to help make life-affirming wishes come true for local kids like Autumn!
