Laura Bryna Honors Make-A-Wish With New Song & Video

Country Music artist Laura Bryna (pictured here with Ace Of Cakes star Duff Goldman and Catherine C. Martens, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Mid-Atlantic) has been involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation since she was a teen. Bryna saw her own dream come true when she spoke in front of a large benefactor audience at the recent 25th Anniversary Celebration of the foundation’s mid-Atlantic chapter. The event in Washington, D.C. honored members of the Chris Greicius Society – named in honor of a seven year old boy who suffered from leukemia 25 years ago and received the first wish which started the Foundation.

Based in part on her own experiences with an older brother, Bryna co-wrote and recorded the song, “Make A Wish”, which chronicles the life of a young child stricken with a life-threatening medical condition whose wish was for all of her friends wishes to come true. The “Make A Wish” video that Bryna filmed was played at the celebration dinner following her brief remarks.

The dinner honored generous donors, including Chris Greicius Society members, Mid-Atlantic chapter founders, board members, emeritus board members, volunteers and special wish granters.

The dinner took place at the Park Hyatt in Washington, D.C. Bryna and Bryna’s video was the evening’s featured entertainment. A number of high level Make-A-Wish Foundation executives and patrons were present as well as other notable dignitaries.

“This was such an honor,” said Bryna, who is on the board of the mid-Atlantic chapter. “The Make-A-Wish Foundation truly makes a difference in the lives of so many people and I was thrilled to be able to play a small role.”

Laura Bryna is passionate about not only her singing career, but also about the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The petite brunette with the powerhouse vocals is the spokesperson and voice of a national ad campaign for the Air National Guard. Her latest single, ‘Hometown Heroes’, was co-written by Bryna to honor all the unsung heroes in our daily lives as well as the men and women who tirelessly serve in America’s armed forces.
