Join the Imperial opa circus this evening, February 23, 2013 at the Opera nightclub located in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia for the fund-raising event for the wish for when the foundation!

Wendy Carol Lipman (who the foundation is named after) was born December 18, 1970 and passed away January 2, 1971. She died from complications of cystic fibrosis. Back then, there weren’t many treatments for cystic fibrosis. Thanks to events like A Wish for Wendy, donations are leading to treatments and are moving us even closer to a cure. The wish for Wendy is that people with cystic fibrosis no longer have to struggle with this disease.
