And, right now, more than 150 local children with critical illnesses are waiting for their own life-changing wishes,” said Beth Torres, President, and CEO of Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee. “Wishes give children renewed energy and strength and bring families closer together. That is why the support of Phil Vassar, Studio Tenn, Chef Galzin and our presenting sponsor, Crowe, is so important and meaningful. We are grateful for their time, talents and contributions. We cannot wait for Stars for Wishes 2019.”
