Events vary widely in size, scope and theme. Some of these events have become signature events not only within the company, but also within their industry. Events build team spirit among employees while helping support the Make-A-Wish mission. Our staff will be happy to assist you; and Wish Ambassadors (former wish children and their families) or a Speakers Bureau Volunteer will be available to help kick off your planning meetings and the event itself.Some of our Corporate Sponsors and their Make-A-Wish events include:
Enlist as a Corporate Wishmaker Working in partnership with our Program Services Department, your employees can be part of creating the magic of a wish. For each one of our wishes, we create some magical enhancements, often provided through Corporate Wishmakers who create a "Wish Sack".It might be a knapsack filled with sand toys, towel, sunglasses and disposable camera for a child heading off to Disney World, while it might be the perfect software for a computer wish. We give you the description of the wish and the age of the child - employees can use their imagination and have fun with this project! Include Make-A-Wish Foundation in Your Workplace-Giving Campaigns Make-A-Wish Foundation is included as an option in many workplace-giving campaigns. Its name and reputation make it one of the most frequently designated charities by employees. Make-A-Wish Foundation of Metro New York can help you design a simple plan that encourages employee participation. Some companies also provide a matching gift option.Give Wings to a Child Through Our Airline Programs Most wishes involve travel - to Disney World, to a reunion with grandparents in a faraway city, or some other dreamed-about destination. Donate airline vouchers or transfer your frequent flyer mileage to Make-A-Wish Foundation and you'll help defray the cost of the more than 2,000 airline tickets we need for wishes each year.Airline Programs that will honor your request to donate frequent flyer miles include America West Airlines, American Airlines, British Airways, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways and United Airlines. Make a Donation in Honor of Your Employees or Clients You can honor your family, friends, employees and business associates with gifts made in their honor to Make-A-Wish Foundation of Metro New York. Many companies choose to make a gift to the Make-A-Wish Foundation in lieu of holiday gifts. We are happy to notify your contacts that a donation has been made in their honor. Corporate holiday cards are also available, as are cards for other special occasions.Start an Employee Volunteer Initiative Companies that provide volunteer opportunities for employees are growing in number and Make-A-Wish Foundation has a number of important corporate volunteer partnerships that create a win-win situation for our Foundation and the company. In some cases, companies use the partnership with Make-A-Wish Foundation to leverage other funding interests (e.g. American Express supports Big Apple Greeters, an organization that partners with Make-A-Wish Foundation to welcome wish children from around the world whose wishes take place in New York - and provides a grant to Make-A-Wish Foundation that allows their employees to be trained as Big Apple Greeters to serve Make-A-Wish kids).Other companies host "lunch and learn" sessions for their employees. We are happy to provide a speaker for a corporate function, or create a special volunteer training program on-site, or invite your employees to be a part of regularly scheduled Make-A-Wish volunteer orientation meetings throughout Metro New York. Join Our Inner Circle Partners and Fulfill our "Wish List" The Foundation's day-to-day expenses - from the rent and telephone, meeting facilities and hosting cultivation events, to printing and postage - are all part of making a child's dream come true. As a member of the Foundation's Inner Circle, you can help defray part of our administrative expenses, with a cash or in-kind donation (printing our monthly volunteer newsletter, for example) so that more of our resources can go directly to granting wishes.Inner Circle Partners include: HQ Global Workplaces JPMorgan Chase Merrill Lynch Sponsorship Opportunities for Our WishQuarters
