Seth Swihart Named Ambassador of The Granted Wish Foundation
Six-year-old Seth Swihart has been named as the new Ambassador of The Granted Wish Foundation.
Seth was born with Apert Syndrome; one type of craniofacial malformation that occurs once in every 60,000 births. He has undergone 12 surgeries, first to separate his fingers and toes, then to begin reshaping his skull and facial features.
"We are extremely humbled and honored that our son, Seth, has been chosen as The Granted Wish Foundation Ambassador. Words cannot express just how delighted and excited we are for this opportunity." Stacey Swihart, Seth's mother said, "Many thanks to The Granted Wish Foundation from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to be a part of your family, for the opportunity of educating others about Apert Syndrome, and for your passion and dedication of service of those in need. Being a part of such a wonderful organization is truly a blessing."
Seth made his first appearance as Ambassador at the Arthur Middleton Capital Holdings' Associate Contribution Appreciation Day. Arthur Middleton Capital Holdings is a corporate sponsor of the foundation.
This past September was Craniofacial awareness month and the second annual Seth's Stride CCA Fundraiser in Canton. The Granted Wish Foundation provided lodging for attending families with children who also have Apert Syndrome. Seth was also a guest at our annual The Greatest Show on Earth Circus Extravaganza in October and rode the Polar Express in December.
"We are very proud and honored to have Seth as our Ambassador to The Granted Wish Foundation," Executive Director, Stefanie Coletti stated. "This little boy who is a bundle of energy is the most loving, sweetest boy whose smile lights up a room. He brings hope and awareness to everyone by his mere presence. Seth's involvement with our foundation will continue to help us provide wish fulfillment to those deserving individuals and families."
Seth's role as Ambassador will include appearances at The Granted Wish Foundation events and involvement in publicity and media. The foundation will continue to support his efforts to educate others about Apert Syndrome and the Craniofacial Association.
