“Make-A-Wish” gets its wish

A long-time supporter of the charity, Allied launched a month’s campaign to raise money from its community of customers, vendors, employees and friends. The wire and cable distributor promised to match the donated total. The campaign ended on 21 st August, raising $3,680 through donations. With Allied matching the contributions dollar for dollar the total donation should have been $7,720 but, because the average wish can cost up to $10,000, Allied chose to more than double the raised amount.

Allied Wire & Cable’s summer fundraising campaign for the Make-A-Wish Foundation raised a total donation of $10,000 for its local chapter, gratefully accepted by the president of the local Make-A-Wish chapter, Dennis Heron. The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Philadelphia, Northern Delaware and Susquehanna Valley approached Allied Wire & Cable for help in late July, reporting an unexpected influx of requests to grant wishes for children living with life threatening illnesses.
