Prescott's Hometown Legend, Make-A-Wish Foundation Founder


Frank Shankwitz, Prescott's Hometown Legend, Founder of Make-A-Wish Foundation. A true gentleman and cowboy, an absolute honor to meet and know this man. Frank is a very down-to-earth person, kind, compassionate & honest. He established the Make-A-Wish Foundation by being inspired by Chris Greicius, a 7-year old boy diagnosed with luekemia. Chris had always dreamed of being a police officer. on May 2 1980, Frank (DPS motor officer) granted Chris' wish by presenting Chris with his motorcycle wings! After realizing how happy granting this wish made Chris, Frank had the desire to continue to do the same for other children who are diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. Make-A-Wish Foundation was established as a 501 c3 in 11/1980, more information at, www.wishaz.org . On May 1 & 2 StarStruck! hosted a Spring Soiree at Briar Wreath B & B benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona, for the Northern Arizona chapter. During the evening we held a fashion show by Bella Donna Boutique, mingled to live music by Max Borjon, enjoyed appetizers & fabulous wine from Veritas International Wine, guests were inspired by wish child testimony and we closed the evening presenting our partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Northern Arizona: for every event booked with StarStruck! Event Planning exceeding a $2,000.00 budget we will donate between 3% and 5% to help grant wishes to children with life threatening illnesses. After meeting Frank and staff at the Make-A-Wish Foundation we felt this was the right organization to make contributions to and are excited to have the opportunity to continue helping those less fortunate and ill through StarStruck! Event Planning.
