Thank you to everyone who came out for Make‑A‑Wish Weekend — the bidders and especially our 70 sponsors and the Dunes Divas who made Saturday’s benefit show unforgettable. Special thanks to Henry Leinaar, Richard Baar and Gregory Muncie.
Together we raised $10,500 for Make‑A‑Wish Michigan — enough to grant a child’s wish.
Swipe to see every local business and artist who donated to the silent auction. When you’re in Saugatuck and Douglas, give them your love.🧡💙
