As part of the Huntsville-Madison County Leadership Connect Class 17, Susie's Wish was a team project that grew into the very first Susie's Beach Fest, and then subsequently the very first Board of Directors in 2014. The Ledges donated several tons of sand to recreate a beach scene at A.M. Booth Lumberyard with party cups, beach cocktails, silent auction, and food trucks by I Love Bacon. Music was performed by Juice.
