Bieber Fever

While everything is still falling into place for Frats-At-Bat and the Make-A-Wish team is just waiting for a few more approvals before everything is set in stone, I thought I would write about a wish that was recently granted.

Over the past few weeks I’ve heard non stop talk about Justin Bieber, whether it’s from the news, magazines, strangers and even some of my friends. Apparently this so called “Bieber Fever” is quite popular, I’ve heard girls from age 3 to 20 express their love for Justin Bieber. Not only have I heard so much about him through the media but also, I recently just learned that he granted a wish for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Monroe, a 5-year-old girl, struggling through cancer had one wish, and that was to meet Justin Bieber. Much to Monroe’s surprise, her wish came true. Monroe and her family were picked up by a limo and taken to Justin’s concert. But it was far more than just a typical concert experience; Monroe was given a backstage escort to meet her favorite popstar. The minute Justin met Monroe he gave her a huge hug and invited Monroe and her family to make themselves at home in his private trailer, they all sat down and talked about whatever was one their mind. Monroe couldn’t believe the excitement that was going on. There were fans everywhere, but she was the only one that was truly backstage! After chatting, Justin gave both Monroe and her sister autographed t-shirts and hats. They were both so excited about everything they could barely sit still! As the concert was about to begin Justin had one more thing to do. He presented a brand-new autographed Gibson guitar, just like the one he uses during his shows, to Monroe. Monroe thought this had been the best day in her whole life and the concert hadn’t even started yet! The show began and her adventure was topped off by a great show. Monroe was so thankful of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and of Justin Bieber for making her wish come true.

Next week I hope to update you all on more of the planning process for Frats-At-Bat! It’s looking like it will be a great weekend!
