On November 10, our Columbia Fuel Fabrication Facility (CFFF) Fire Brigade/Response Team presented a $5,000 check to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Make-A-Wish is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in the U.S. that helps fulfill the wishes of children between the ages of 2 and 18 years old battling critical illness.
The check, made possible through CFFF employee donations, was accepted on behalf of the Make-A-Wish Foundation by Mary Silverberg, Regional Development Officer. “Thank you again for your generous support,” she said. “We currently have 471 South Carolina children who are battling critical illnesses and waiting for their wishes to be granted – 79 of those children live in the Midlands. Your donation helps make these wishes possible!”
The Make-A-Wish Foundation operates through its 59 chapters located across the U.S. as well as in nearly 50 other countries through its 39 international affiliates.
