Make-A-Wish Foundation
Our donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts will grant a special wish to one child between the ages of 2 1/2 and 18 with a life-threatening illness.  The donation will cover the entire wish so the family of the child will not bear any cost when the wish is granted.  The wish of each child is different and reflects the unique and personal sense of their dreams.  The Make-A-Wish foundation ensures that they will do everything possible to make each wish a reality and one which the family will remember and cherish.
