Wish comes true for little Tommy

ALLIED Wire & Cable raised and donated a total of $14,000 to fulfil a child’s wish through Make-A-Wish® Philadelphia, Northern Delaware & Susquehanna Valley, during a recent charity event. The company donated $10,000 at the event, but raised an additional $4,000 through raffle prizes and other customer donations. The event honoured Tommy, a four-year-old boy with a cardiac condition, who was granted a wish when he was just three years old. After two years of hospital stays and open heart surgeries, Tommy’s wish was fulfilled and he and his family went to Disney World. Tommy’s father, Will, said: “If I had one wish, it would be to let everyone experience the joy and gratitude I was able to experience by being the father of a son who had his wish come true.” Two Philadelphia Eagles cheerleaders were also in attendance and presented Tommy with a gift on behalf of AWC. Allied is proud to continually give back to an organisation like Make-A-Wish that not only brings hope to children in need, but also to the families of these children.
