Meet the Heartwarming Leader of Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee
Welcome to the vibrant city of Nashville, where dreams come true and hope shines bright! We recently had the joy of talking to a remarkable individual who is making a profound impact on our community. Say hello to Robby Klein, the President and CEO of Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee. With a heart full of passion and a commitment to making a difference, Robby has become a beloved figure in the nonprofit world.
Robby’s Journey
Originally hailing from the Windy City, Robby moved to Nashville with a vision: to bring smiles and wishes to the children battling critical illnesses. He shared with us that being at the helm of Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee is not just a job for him; it’s a calling. “I’m most proud of the work we do here,” Robby beamed. “It’s my favorite nonprofit!” His enthusiasm for the organization radiates, showing us in every word just how important their mission is to him.
When he’s not working his magic at Make-A-Wish, Robby dedicates his time to volunteering with various organizations, including the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University and Pi Beta Phi Fraternity. He firmly believes that contributing back to the community strengthens the fabric of society. “It’s important to give back,” he emphasized.
Staying Grounded
Balancing his demanding role, Robby recognizes the significance of self-care. “Most of my routine these days is focused on being healthy,” he explained. Staying active is a priority, and he regularly hits the full-body cardio sessions at Row House in Sylvan Park. After a long day of inspiring children, what better way to unwind than a relaxing sauna session? Robby finds peace and rejuvenation at CYL Sauna Studio and indulges in some therapeutic time at Simply Therapeutic Massage and Spa Haus.
Recently, he’s been following the inspiring Jessie Inchauspé, also known as the Glucose Goddess, picking up some handy tips and hacks for healthy living. Robby believes that embracing wellness is vital to leading a fulfilling life.
A Quote to Live By
When asked about a personal mantra, Robby shared a quote that resonates deeply with him: “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” — Maya Angelou. This philosophy encapsulates Robby’s approach to both his personal growth and his work at Make-A-Wish. “I like the idea that we can continue to learn new things and apply them to our life,” he added, which indeed inspires us all to strive for self-improvement.
Bringing Elegance to the Community
As part of a recent photoshoot celebrating the essence of his work, Robby expressed gratitude towards Grogan Jewelers by Lon for adding a bit of sparkle to the occasion. The beautiful pieces worn by Beth Torres, including 18 karat yellow gold 2.87 carat pear-shaped diamond front-facing hoops, perfectly captured the essence of hope and elegance that Make-A-Wish stands for.
In Conclusion
Nashville is indeed lucky to have Robby Klein and the incredible team at Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee working tirelessly to create memories and grant wishes. As they continue to touch the lives of many children and families, let us all take a leaf out of Robby’s book: remember to volunteer, take care of ourselves, and above all, do good in our communities. Here’s to dreaming big and making wishes come true!
