\nHere at LiLu Interiors we love to use our creativity to give back to our community and one way we do this by being a part of the decorating committee with Wishes and More.
\nWishes & More is a Minnesota-Based, Tax Deductible Children\u2019s Charity that: Enhances the life of a child fighting a terminal or life-threatening condition by providing extraordinary experiences including wishes, scholarships, memorials and more.
\nWishes & More creates extraordinary experiences for wish children: The goal of this children\u2019s charity is simple: to grant wishes to children with terminal and life-threatening illnesses and provide hopeful hearts, happy memories and assistance to those who love them.
\nThe decorating committee is 100% responsible for the annual Gala that is a large part of the fundraising efforts for the year.\u00a0 This committee is made up of mostly volunteers including the president and founder, Karla Blomberg and one of the only employees of the Charity, Joelle Gamble. \u00a0The rest of us all volunteer our time and money to make this the event of the year.
\nWe begin meeting and brainstorming for each gala about a year in advance.\u00a0 We come with a list of themes and begin talking about what would be entertaining, unique and has enough themes within the theme to incorporate such as the entrance, booths, center pieces decorations and so on.
\nThis last year we decided on The 20\u2019s Roar Again since we would be entering the new decade of 2020.\u00a0 Who doesn\u2019t love to dress up in sparkly dresses with feather boas, fedoras, flapper costumes, suspenders\u2026We think the guests loved it just as much.
\nThere are a variety of different ways that Wishes and More raises money at the event.\u00a0 There is your silent and live auctions and then different activities to do as you mix and mingle your way through the crowd. \u00a0We have a booth that sells necklaces and then raffles a number for a real diamond. The pick your prize booth is where each person wins different items such as a gift card to a local restaurant with a grand prize of an Apple Watch.
\nThe heads or tails booth is where LiLu has maximized our creativity for 7 years.\u00a0 This year we transformed a space into a 1920\u2019s dressing room where each guest with purchase was outfitted either a white fedora hat or a white feather boa.\u00a0 They get to play the game of heads or tails twice to win a grand prize of $200.
\nWe have loved being a part of Wishes and More for many years. Not only do they throw amazing events but the gratitude that pours out of them is like none other.\u00a0 The work the charity does every single day is important and makes a difference.\u00a0 We are honored to work beside them each and every year.<\/p>\n
