The Make A Wish nonprofit group helps ailing children and their families with treks to favorite destinations. Kelly Miller's three-person Whatabouts musical ensemble will perform Friday, May 15, at the charity benefit at Joy Manor banquet hall.
Joy Manor is at 28999 Joy Road in Westland (south side of Joy). The Glamour Ball of “Vintage Glam or Fashion Today” gives folks a chance to help sick children as well as dance, eat dinner, and enjoy an open bar.
The May 15 event costs $50 per person and will continue from 6-11 p.m. Miller, a Farmington Hills resident, formerly of Garden City, has ticket information at (734) 377- 1745.
“We thought this would be fun to have people dress up in prom or ball gowns, and have somewhere to go,” said Miller. Close family members of Miller have done Make A Wish benefit work, so The Whatabouts decided to follow suit.
The Whatabouts perform musical numbers of the 1940s to 1960s.

Miller's musical group also supports battered women and children with benefit work supporting the Christian Joyce Meyer Ministries. “We try to give back to the community,” said Miller.
