For nearly a decade, the Make-A-Wish© Foundation of Guam & CNMI was fortunate to have on its board of directors, the late Dr. Chris Perez. He was a staunch advocate for our mission and a believer in the “power of a Wish” to help heal children with critical illnesses. Those who are familiar with Dr. Perez will know instantly of his proclivity for wearing bow ties. It is in this spirit, and in the remembrance of his impact on the foundation that we honor his request to create a fundraising event using items from his estate.
With the blessing of his family, and the guidance of his fellow board members that served alongside him, we are excited to announce the first annual Bow Ties for Wishes cocktail-dinner event, happening Thursday, February 16, at Capitol Kitchen (formerly Papa's Restaurant) on Airport Road. This event will feature carefully selected items from Dr. Perez' personal luxury watch collection up for auction. Dr. Perez’s fondness for luxury timepieces is evident with rare watches from Patek Philippe, Omega, Ulysse Nardin, and Oris.
The evening’s emcee will be veteran radio personality, Kyle Mandapat, and the event will feature vodka cocktails sponsored by Tito’s Vodka. Multi-course shareable platters of food is included in the ticket price.
We hope you can join us for this unique event. Tickets are $150 and one-hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Guam & CNMI. Attire for the evening is business casual.
Thank you for helping us share the power of a Wish! We look forward to seeing you February 16.
*Wear a bow tie to the event and receive a special gift from Make-A-Wish.
