MAKE-A-WISH WISCONSIN RUMMELE’S JEWELERS IS HONORED TO BE A PART OF MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE

T ogether, we at Make-A-Wish ® Wisconsin grant life-changing wishes for local kids battling critical illnesses, for whom a wish experience is a game-changer. This one belief guides us in everything we do. Currently, nearly 500 kids have life-affirming wishes pending, 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 took place on October 12th at the Resch Expo overlooking Lambeau Field. More than 650 guests experienced a spectacular evening filled with incredible gourmet food, desserts, martinis, wines, and craft beers. The area’s finest establishments joined us and served their best, including Republic Chophouse, Taverne in the Sky at Lodge Kohler, and Chives and Cheese Cake Heaven, to name a few. Guests also 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 giving 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. Rummele’s Jewelers has also very generously provided hundreds of gifts of jewelry, like Honora pearl bracelets, to give to guests of major sponsors of our Gourmet Wishes signature event. “We often hear from parents about how the wish journey makes an incredible impact on their child’s mental, emotional, and physical health,” explains Kris Teofilo, senior regional director of Make-A-Wish Wisconsin. “This is all possible because of our compassionate supporters like Tracy and Rummele’s Jewelers who open their hearts to making wishes come true!”

One successful Make-A-Wish was granted to a 7-year-old from Kaukauna, Tabby, who is battling a brain tumor. Tabby’s special wish to spend a magical week at Walt Disney World ® Resort recently came true. “Tabby, and the rest of us, had the most wonderful and memorable time on her Disney Wish trip! Our thanks doesn’t seem like enough for this amazing trip, but please accept our many thanks and share with everyone who made this trip possible. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience. We were so spoiled and blessed! The memories will last a lifetime. Just today she had a not-so-fun medical
