The whole evening was spectacular, but the most magical part was saved until the very end when Landyn presented a $110,000 check to Make-A-Wish®, which would in turn grant hundreds of wishes to kids across Middle Tennessee. Landyn did a great job of surprising guests throughout the two hour show, but at the end of the evening she received a surprise of her own. A few Make-A-Wish kids took to the stage to thank Landyn for her generosity and share what having their wish granted means to them.
Before leaving, attendees were treated to some holiday cheer with a visit from Santa and milkshakes courtesy of Gracie's Milkshake Bar.
