Sarah, 18, loves the ocean, and
said snorkeling in the Great
Barrier Reef may have been her
favorite part of the trip.
She also enjoyed touring a rain
forest, seeing the Grand Ole Opry
and visiting Kuranda, a village in
Queensland. :
Sarah said she picked Australia
because she knew she wanted to
take a trip and the island nation
offers so much to do.
“It’s an opportunity of a life
time,” she said. “We personally
would never have the funds now to
be able to go. I plan on being able
to when I'm older. That’s my
favorite thing. I love to travel.”
Donations from United
Healthcare of Georgia and its
employees made Sarah’s wish
come true.

Alpharetta restaurant.
Rick Elliott, CEO of United
Healthcare of Georgia, said he
enjoys being able to fund a specif
ic wish rather than make a blanket
donation because he gets to meet
the families and see the efforts at
work.
“Seeing their positive attitudes is
so inspiring,” he said.
Studies have shown that granting
wishes can help the outlook for a
person’s recovery, he said.
Elliott also serves as the vice
chairman of the Make-a-Wish
Georgia board of directors.
He said teens often select trips
for their wishes, but this is the first
time he’s seen a wish to visit
Australia.
Make-A-Wish Georgia was
founded in 1995, and has granted
more than 5,000 wishes of local
children, including 387 in 2012.
The state organization is a part
of Make-A-Wish America, which
grants the requests of children with
life-threatening medical condi
tions. ; 4

FROM 1C
“The respite program is really for the
caregivers because there are so many
people trying to work, trying to run a
household and their parents or loved
ones are in need of this type of service,”
she said.
“As a community, we feel it’s impor
tant to support the senior citizens and the
active adults so they can live a better life
in Forsyth County and not really burden
everybody with the taxes, so that’s where
our public-private partnership comes into
play.”
While the show supports a good cause,
Ledbetter said that doesn’t mean it won’t
be a lot of fun.
The production includes performances
from the Cumming Playhouse Singers,
Showtime Singers of Atlanta and the
Rhett Wallers Dixieland Band.
“This year we're starting off with
Phantom of the Opera’s ‘Masquerade’
and then we go into New Orleans songs
and jazz,” she said. “Then after intermis
sion we have, the band coming in from
the back and we’ll have a salute to Dixie.

songs about as many Southern states as I
can cram in there.”
Besides plenty of music, there are also
numerous dancers and Ledbetter said
audiences should expect to become part
of the show, too.
“Audiences can expect a fun time and
they will be involved in the show,” she
said. “We have several acts where the
audience is going to be definitely
involved in the show.” e
She’s hoping people come out to sap
port the cause and have a good time.
“This is just for fun and to try to raise
awareness and some money since there’s
definitely a need,” she said. “There’s just
music and dancing and a lot of fun
things.” :
