Thirteen children with life-threatening medical conditions will enjoy their dream vacations thanks to a $133,418.00 donation by Delicato Family Vineyards to Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area.
The childrens’ wishes included going to destinations such as their favorite theme parks, Hawaii, London, and Tokyo. Delicato also gave each child a unique selection of gifts to take on their journey, from toys and shoes to princess dresses.
In lieu of Delicato’s annual team building event, the company decided to celebrate and share its success by challenging its employees to raise funds for Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area. Between March 7th and June 30th, nine Delicato teams utilized their networking skills and fundraising efforts to generate excitement among customers and suppliers, who were very generous in helping Delicato make wishes come true, while fostering healthy competition and teamwork.
“We chose Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area, because not only do they create a dream experience for a child,” noted Delicato EVP of Sales & Marketing, Mike Jackson, “but they give the child and their family the gift of something positive to look forward to. The most important thing to Delicato Family Vineyards truly is – Family.”
