Christina Zichelle at the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Southern Florida gave me the heads up on a fabulous event that several South Florida florists are participating in the “Spring Fling & Flower Fashion Show“.
Here’s what Christina had to say:

Wishes are abloom at the Spring Fling & Flower Fashion Show on Friday, May 21, 2010 at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort. Decked out in floral creations fashioned by local florists and designers, South Florida’s finest will glide down the runway in support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Southern Florida.

Tickets are $40 (includes 2 drinks, heavy hors d’oeuvres and the opportunity to bid on fabulous auction items).

For more information go to the Make A Wish Foundation Of South Florida’s facebook event Spring Fling & Flower Fashion Show.

For those of you unfamiliar, with the Make A Wish Foundation let me tell you about them. This wonderful organization grants wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions. Most of us have a life-time (often a very long one) to achieve and experience our dreams.  Without the help of the Make A Wish Foundation, these children might never get the chance to realize their dreams.

Across the country, fundraising events like the Spring Fling & Flower Fashion Show provided the funds to grant the wish of many ill children.

Flower Shop Network applauds the Make A Wish Foundation for making a difference. FSN also salutes the many South Florida florists who are so graciously giving their time and money to this worthy cause. So if you are in Fort Lauderdale on May 21st, go to the Spring Fling & Flower Fashion Show.  You’ll have a good time. You’ll see some interesting floral creations. But, more importantly you’ll help make a child’s wishes come true.
