Foti Chiropractic Sends Fourth Make-A-Wish Recipient on Dream Vacation

Wauwatosa, Wis. – A 12-year-old Milwaukee boy living with a brain tumor has jetted off on a dream Hawaiian vacation, thanks to the generosity of Foti Chiropractic, its patients and supporters.

Nikolas visited Hawaii after Foti Chiropractic raised more than $10,000 in 2015 to sponsor the trip through Make-A-Wish® Wisconsin. The Hawaiian warmth, sand and sunshine provided Nikolas and his family a healthy dose of hope, strength and joy.

Nikolas is the fourth Make-A-Wish recipient whose dream vacation was funded by Foti Chiropractic. The Wauwatosa clinic has raised more than $31,000 for the charity since 2013.

“Every time we hit another fund-raising milestone to grant a child’s ‘wish,’ we just get more excited to start on the next one,” said Dr. David J. Foti. “We humbly thank the many, many people whose generosity has made all of these Make-A-Wish Wisconsin experiences possible.”

Make-A-Wish® Wisconsin grants the “wishes” of children with life-threatening medical conditions. The program expects to grant 365 wishes in 2016.

Foti Chiropractic raises money for Make-A-Wish through various means, including an introductory consultation package for new patients whose entire $40 fee is donated to the charity. The clinic eclipsed its $10,000 fund-raising goal for 2015 on Nov. 17, when it offered $10 spinal adjustments and donated the entire day’s proceeds - more than $1,700 - to Make-A-Wish.

Foti Chiropractic, which has improved the health of Wauwatosa and nearby communities for more than three decades, was named local consumers’ favorite place for chiropractic care in a 2015 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel readers’ poll. The clinic, 11717 W. North Ave., also received the Wauwatosa Chamber of Commerce’s Regional Impact Award in 2015, recognizing its community involvement and outreach for charitable and educational causes.

Founded by Dr. David J. Foti in 1978, and joined in 2007 by his daughter, Dr. Felicia Toy, Foti Chiropractic has provided natural health care to thousands of patients, emphasizing wellness and prevention that helps the body heal itself. The family-owned and -operated clinic received Integrity Management’s Five Star Quality Service Award in 2012, recognizing its long record of patient treatment, customer service and professionalism.
