Each year, board members and supporters nominate outstanding individuals and couples to serve as 'Wishes & More® Ambassadors' for the upcoming year.
Ambassadors play a critical role in growing our mission by introducing Wishes & More to their personal and professional networks and encouraging others to become involved. Their primary requirement/commitment is to bring at least eight new guests, who have the potential to become supporters of our mission, to the Winter Ball. Throughout the year, Ambassadors also stay connected with what's happening at WAM in order to spread the word and share support.
If you would like to be considered as a Wishes & More Ambassador—or would like to nominate someone you know —we'd love to hear from you. Please contact Karla.
