The Well in Dearborn Donates $3,500 to Make a Wish

The Well bar in Dearborn.

The owners of The Well bar, which opened in Dearborn’s West Village Commons in September 2009, held their first ever golf outing for charity and raised about $3,500, all of which is being donated to the Make a Wish Foundation

“We decided to have the event to raise some money for a charity,” said Dale W. Gehringer Jr., one of the owners of The Well. “We looked at a few and we selected the Make A Wish Foundation. We just really wanted everyone to have a great time for a good cause.”

Gehringer said 88 people attended the outing, which was held at the Inkster Valley Golf Club Aug. 20.

Of course an outing like this takes the help of many sponsors to be successful. Gehringer says The Well wants to thank all who participated and/or donated, including many Dearborn restaurants and bars who donated gift cards. Even Chris Chelios donated a few autographed items for auction and some Thomas Holdstrom items, as well.

“We had many sponsors for this event that donated either Hole Sponsorships or gifts that we raffled away after the outing,” Gehringer said. “We plan on having an annual outing every year.”
