On March 14th, I had the incredible opportunity to attend Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic’s Media Day at WTOP studio in Chevy Chase, MD alongside °µÍø³Ô¹Ï’s CEO, John Heller. The event gave us a unique opportunity to get an inside glimpse of all the amazing work that goes into Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic and Operation Dream Maker. It was a day full of joy, passion, inspiration, and hope.
As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by the dedicated and passionate team at Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic. We toured the studio and even got the chance to see an interview happening live. It was amazing to see how the team at Make-A-Wish works tirelessly to grant the wishes of children with critical illnesses.
One of the highlights of the day was meeting Leanna, a brave wish kid who shared her story of overcoming the challenges she faces. She was an inspiration to us all and a reminder of the importance of organizations like Make-A-Wish. Experiencing the positive impact that Make-A-Wish had on her life and the lives of other military children was truly heartwarming.
Throughout the day, I had the privilege of watching CEO John Heller in action as he interacted with Leanna. They exchanged laughter, heartfelt stories, and Heller also shared the reason behind °µÍø³Ô¹Ï’s partnership with Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic. It was evident that he was deeply committed to this cause and genuinely passionate about °µÍø³Ô¹Ï helping others.
°µÍø³Ô¹Ï is the Founding Partner of Operation Dream Maker in partnership with Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic. Through this partnership, °µÍø³Ô¹Ï and Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic are able to grant wishes to the children of military families who are battling critical illnesses.
Witnessing the impact of this partnership was a true privilege, and it left me feeling incredibly grateful to be a part of a company whose values align with such an inspiring organization. The work the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic team is doing is positively impacting so many lives for the better. After witnessing the effort and care provided to and for these families, I hope it motivates others, as it did me, to continue supporting this cause in any way possible.
