Fundraising Brunch at Basil’s For Chloe’s Special Wish

By

Basil’s on Market proudly announces their annual The Wonderful World of Basil’s Event taking place November 5th, 2017. This spectacular Sunday Brunch event is sure to be magical with 50% of all the proceeds from the entire day benefiting the local charity, A Special Wish Foundation.

 

A Special Wish is a non-profit organization serving 6 local counties. Their mission is to provide children and adolescents who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening disorder, the opportunity to have a wish fulfilled. These wishes can range from special gifts, visiting a special place, or even meeting their hero! This event will be looking to raise funds for Chloe, age 6, who has been diagnosed with leukemia, and grant her wish to visit Walt Disney World and become a Walt Disney World Princess!

The Dayton Chapter has granted wishes to more than 1,600 children over the past 30 years.  As the largest Special Wish Chapter in the country, they need the support of our community. “As a father of two, this organization is really close to my heart.  I love the idea of helping kids in our community and giving them an experience that they will never forget!” says Basil’s owner, Jeff Finkelstein.

 

Make this a day to remember for Chloe and reserve your table today by calling 937-641-4263.

Look, over at Centerville Stadium, caped superheros of all sorts are descending on the track for a 5k / 10k Walk/Run this Saturday, April 16th!  They are able to leap a dozen pretzel donuts in a single bound.  They are the runners/walkers for this special event.

Dubbed the “Bill’s Donut Superhero Run,” this walk/run event is for kids and adults.   Most importantly it benefits a local charity, the Dayton, Ohio Affiliate Chapter of “A Special Wish Foundation, Inc.,” covering Montgomery, Darke, Mercer, Miami, Greene & Shelby Counties.

The event allows families to participate together, or just kids, or just adults.   Who is your favorite super hero?  Green Lantern?  The Flash?  Wonder Woman? Who will you dress up as?

Join the fun and come dressed as your favorite super hero.  Kids go crazy for this stuff, and what a fun way to promote healthy exercise in their lives.   You even get to have some world famous Bill’s Donuts after the race, as well as Mikesells chips, bananas, and grilled hot dogs.  What a fun Food Adventure!

Super heroes get hungry too, ya know.  Plenty of bottled water will be available for re-hydration of our super powers after the race.

What is your favorite donut?  Blueberry?  Long Johns?  Persian Nuts?  Maybe even stop by for more Bill’s Donuts on the way home, around the corner from the stadium.
