NASHVILLE, Tenn. (November 2023): Chase had no idea that dinner at his favorite restaurant was actually a big celebration all about him! While dining at his local Texas Roadhouse in Evansville, Indiana, his family knew that a big surprise was coming after the meal, and it was even better than dessert. The manager came over and revealed that Kids Wish Network was making Chase’s dream come true, sending him on a family getaway to Nashville to experience “all things country” along with some other surprises! Texas Roadhouse graciously provided meals for Chase’s family.  

His wish adventure was filled with many firsts like axe throwing and zip lining at The Adventure Park at Nashville, and going to the Country Music Hall of Fame. Both attractions provided his family with admission.

He also enjoyed dining at unique restaurants including Chuy’s, Mission BBQ who gifted him a shirt, Caffe’ Nonna, Monell’s Dining and Catering, and Nectar Urban Cantina. He received special attention at Mimo at Four Seasons Hotel, participating in a cake decorating activity planned by the chef. He also received a tour of the hotel and rooftop, and was gifted a soccer jersey from the Nashville Soccer Club. The manager at Edley’s Bar-B-Que made his dining experience extra memorable, spending time with Chase showing him around the barbeque smokers and gifting him a t-shirt. His family’s meals were courtesy of all the restaurants.

The Omni Nashville Hotel provided swanky accommodations for his family with stunning views of the downtown, and surprised him with a fun guitar case filled with snacks in his room. He also loved wearing their indulgent robes while relaxing with his family in the evenings.

Chase made so many meaningful memories with his family, it was a trip they’ll always cherish.    

The getaway provided much-needed time away from the struggles of his medical condition. Chase has ulcerative colitis, and has already had six blood transfusions, and continues to undergo monthly infusions.

Many Thanks
