In 2014, Make-A-Wish® will grant the wishes of 200 terminally ill children. However, there are 200 additional children within the Eastern NC community waiting for their wishes to be granted. On average, each wish costs around $7,500. The goal for Raleigh’s inaugural event is $50,000.
TSG will make a donation to Make-A-Wish®, as well as pay the entry fee on behalf of any customer and employee that attends. The company is also encouraging employees to build teams and find sponsors in order to make the event a success.
