TMC Environmental recently hosted the 3rd Annual Environmental Services Fall Golf Classic to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Golfers of all abilities convened at Red Tail Golf Club in Devens, in support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation raising $13,000. These funds will enable the foundation to grant as many wishes as possible for the 580 children in Massachusetts and Rhode Island diagnosed each year with life-threatening medical conditions.
"We cannot thank TMC Environmental enough for hosting this event and gathering the community together on our behalf," said Tony Sampaio of Make-A-Wish Foundation. "We have grown from granting a single wish in our first year, to striving for 400 children's wishes in 2011 and this donation will allow us to make more of our children's wishes come true," said Sampaio.
In 2009, TMC's first annual golf classic raised $11,500 for Make A Wish which allowed the foundation to grant the wishes of 2 critically ill children, sending them and their families to Walt Disney World. With on-site medical facilities providing treatments as necessary and Disney characters spending quality one on one time with the children, they were given an all expenses paid vacation of a lifetime.
The money raised from last year's tournament, allowed the Make a Wish Foundation to grant three wishes. Fayth, age two, met Mickey Mouse and the Disney Princesses when she and her parents spent a week at Walt Disney World. Six year old Sara loves the movie Beethoven and received a puppy who is now her constant companion. Andrew, age nine, and his family embarked on a fun-filled Nickelodeon cruise to the Bahamas.
"This year's tournament was a great day for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, TMC and all the participating companies," says Matthew Clark, president and CEO of TMC Environmental. "We are grateful to have so many amazing people in this industry who are willing to donate their time and money for such a wonderful cause."
TMC plans to continue this tradition of community involvement - holding the 4th Annual Environmental Services Fall Golf Classic in 2012 to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts and Rhode Island grants wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. The joy began in 1987, when the Foundation fulfilled its first wish: a family trip to York Beach for a girl with Niemann-Pick disease. Since that first inspired wish, the Foundation has served over 4,500 children in Massachusetts and over 1,000 children in Rhode Island. This fiscal year, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts and Rhode Island is working to fulfill over 500 wishes for eligible children in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
