KING OF SWING NEWS!

Sometimes an event takes on a life of its own and give the right circumstances, grows into something that is difficult to define. Such is the case with King of Swing Charities. For twenty years we gathered as a group of supporters, friends, family, classmates … a TEAM … all working together to sponsor an event celebrating the children of Make-A-Wish here in Houston and in doing so, raising monies to help fund special wishes made these medically compromised children.

Some might be surprised at the number of people who continue to express sincere interest in King of Swing and profoundly miss our year celebration. Some even continue to send checks! We thank those supporters and ask that you keep us in mind and stay tuned as what the future might possibly bring.

WE raise our glasses to you, our family, our friends and even to the strangers who became ardent supporters. Every year you showed up and opened hearts and wallets for our beautiful MAW kids. “Thank you” doesn’t begin to express how grateful we all are - especially the hundreds of children who lives we have indirectly touched.

King of Swing Charities, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, works to raise money in support of children through Make-A-Wish in memory of Christopher James Newton. All profits realized from events associated with The Christopher James Newton Memorial Weekend are donated to the Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana Chapter of Make-A-Wish, based here in Houston. We put the FUN in fundraising!
