Local restaurant hosting Celebrity Wait Night

TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI)- A Tupelo restaurant is hosting an event that will help make wishes come true for children battling critical illnesses.

Mugshots Grill and Bar will host the Celebrity Wait Night for Make A Wish Mid-South this coming Tuesday evening.

The event features celebrity waiters shadowing Mugshots Grill and Bar wait staff.

Ten percent of sales, 100 percent of all tips and a silent auction will all go to Make A Wish and help children in Northeast Mississippi get their wishes granted.

“Mississippi, North Mississippi, in general, is known for giving back, it is a heritage we got when we moved here, and it’s certainly one we’re passing on to our children, this particular organization, Make A Wish, is all about taking kids and grant to them life-changing wishes,” said Renee Baldwin.

“I was lucky enough to grant a wish to one of the children last year, and it was very heartfelt, the child was very excited to go to Walt Disney World, and she and her whole family, including brother and sister got to go,” said Kathrine Jackson.
