Luxaire extends sponsorship
of Make-A-Wish into 2014.
Three-year, $750,000 commitment helps grant wishes for
seriously ill children.
The Luxaire® brand of heating,
ventilation and air-conditioning equipment recently renewed its
commitment to helping children with life-threatening medical
conditions by signing its fourth multi-year contract with
Make-A-Wish®. This extends the relationship with the wish-granting
organization into 2014 and commits $750,000 in contributions over
three years.
Luxaire first embarked on a
sponsorship of Make- A-Wish in 2001. Since that time, Luxaire has
donated more than $2.4 million to the organization, enough to grant
nearly 330 wishes.
Last year, 2011 marked the 10-year
anniversary of Luxaire’s support of Make- A-Wish. To celebrate a
“Decade of Wishes Come True,” Luxaire brand manager Mary Mocarski
and members of her senior leadership team traveled to Luxaire
distributor locations to personally thank distributors for their
support of Make-A-Wish. Last year alone, the company sponsored
wishes and events with 33 Make-A-Wish chapters across the country.

One of these
chapters, Make-A-Wish® Wisconsin, recently honored Luxaire’s
commitment by presenting the foundation’s annual recognition
plaque to Rodney Rushing, Johnson Controls vice president and
general manager, Unitary Products. “The generous support of
organizations like Luxaire is critical to our ability to enrich
the lives of the courageous children we serve to bring hope,
strength and joy to their families,” said David A. Williams,
president and chief executive officer for Make-A-Wish.
“We especially
appreciate the relationship we have forged with Luxaire over the
past 10 years, and we look forward to building on the success of
this program.” “We value the opportunity to participate in the Make-
A-Wish program, because it enables us to make a meaningful
contribution to the lives of children in the communities where we
live and work,” said Mocarski. “At the same time, we’re able to
offer our dealers and distributors a program that truly
differentiates them in the market.”
