“We are so excited to bring back the Bob Ross Experience, a fundraiser that has raised over $8,000 to help grant wishes for children in our community” said Robin Carpenter, Marketing and Events Manager of A Special Wish Foundation.
A Special Wish Cleveland is a local non-profit organization that grants wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses between birth and up to 20 years of age. ASW kiddos seek treatment at UH Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital, Cleveland Clinic Children’s and Akron Children’s Hospital.
A Special Wish Foundation encourages all attendees to wear their best denim outfits as they channel their inner Bob Ross while creating their own artistic masterpieces.
