The Second Annual BIG Wish Gala presented was a big success, raising approximately $760,000 and attracting more than 730 attendees. Eighty Wishes were granted to children with life threatening illnesses from the money raised at the BIG Wish Gala. MTR Health was a sponsor of this special event and continues to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation on an annual basis. MTR Health also contributed to the Ultimate OSU Fan Live Auction which garnered $42,000. Guests were treated to a spectacular view of Ohio Stadium in a large clear-span tent that sprawled from the south end zone to the 50-yard line along with an intimate performance by Country Music Superstars Rascal Flatts. The star-studded event, hosted by NBC 4 Anchor Colleen Marshall, also featured ESPN College Football Analyst Kirk Herbstreit, OSU Men’s Basketball Coach Thad Matta, OSU Head Football Coach Jim Tressel, as well as many legendary football players. “The success of the BIG Wish Gala will help us to eliminate our backlog of pending wishes and continue to provide ‘BIG Wishes’ for courageous children,” said President & CEO
