Join us at the Heroes Hurrah!
July 31, 2011
Heroes Hurrah is the ending celebration for the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s Wish-A-Mile (WAM) 300 and Wish-A-Mile 50 Bicycle Tours. It takes place Sunday, July 31st from 11a.m. to 5 p.m.at the Chelsea Fairgrounds in Chelsea, Michigan.
Make-A-Wish will be host to more than 3,000 riders, wish children, families, volunteers and supporters at Heroes Hurrah. When the riders cross the finish line - cheers erupt! A celebration that is complete with live entertainment, clowns, bounce houses, a delicious lunch, a kid’s carnival and more.
The crowning jewel of Heroes Hurrah is the touching moments as the 800 riders meet their wish heroes – wish kids they will be riding in honor of – proudly place medals around their necks. This is the reason many of our participants commit to volunteering or riding year after year!
This event would not be possible without the help of all of our wonderful volunteers. We have many fun jobs that need volunteers that day. Here are some examples of fun volunteer jobs that await:
- Welcome Booth
- Wish Hero Meet and Greet Barn
- Carnival
- Finish Line
- Bikes
- Crafts
- Food/Beverage
- Traffic
- SAG Vans
- Event parking

- Setup and tear down
Every volunteer contributes to our mission – making wishes come true! Become a part of Heroes Hurrah and put a smile on a special child’s face. See you at the party!
