Allied Wire & Cable's Charity Week Grants Wishes for Children
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
COLLEGEVILLE, PA - December 18, 2008 - Allied Wire and Cable is thrilled to announce that its 2008 Charity Week raised enough money to grant two wishes through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Charity Week is held each year during the week before Christmas. A portion of all sales made during that time is donated to a selected charity, and this year’s recipient was Make-A-Wish.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a well-known national organization that raises money to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses. These wishes can be anything from a trip to Disney to a face-to-face meeting with a favorite celebrity. The granting of a wish is often a life-changing experience for both the child and his or her family. Allied Wire has supported Make-A-Wish for almost a decade and will continue to do as often as possible.
“The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Philadelphia & Susquehanna Valley’s ongoing relationship with Allied Wire & Cable has brought incredible joy to the lives of children living in our community. We are honored to include them among our generous supporters making a difference to sick children, providing them with hope and inspiration for the future,” says Karen Traten, Director of Development for Make-A-Wish of Philadelphia & Susquehanna Valley.
Allied Wire sincerely thanks its customers, whose generosity demonstrated the true spirit of the season, even during these financially-trying times. Thanks to their kindness and support, a little holiday cheer was brought to some children who are very much in need.
