Why We Give
In 2017, we chose to partner with the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana chapter in an effort to help a wonderful organization raise money for a group of extremely deserving kids. While most charitable organizations do meaningful things, we immediately saw the impact we could make on the Make-A-Wish children and their families.
Make-A-Wish Foundation supporters help make life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Wishes that are granted create strength, hope and transformation in a child and the community. Research even shows that a granted wish can give kids the strength to fight against and even overcome a critical illness.
The decision to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation as our exclusive charitable partner was born out of a passionate desire to help kids in need that not only our entire team shares, but our client base and our fundraiser supporters share, too. We emphatically ask you to join us as we continue to raise money year in and year out for kids right here in Northeast Ohio who need our help!
The Children and Wishes
We’re incredibly grateful to our clients, sponsors, and partners for helping us make these wishes come true!
