Doesn’t it feel good to rise above and surprise someone with how much you can achieve? We’re already into the second year of our alliance, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation® continues to be pleasantly surprised and impressed with Creative Memories’ dedication to helping make wishes come true. Did you know that, in calendar year 2009, we committed to a minimum contribution of $250,000? But with the combined efforts of our fantastic Consultants and caring customers, we were able to exceed expectations, contributing more than $400,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation!
(SPOILER ALERT: Watch for a whole new batch of products inspired by the Make-A-Wish Foundation coming soon! For every product purchased in the new wish-inspired product line, Creative Memories will make a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.)
A few days ago we had a visit from Barb Koch with the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Minnesota. The sole reason for her visit was to say “thanks” on behalf of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Barb wanted to let us know how much the Foundation appreciates what all of us do and how grateful they are for the results. She even brought us a beautiful, framed plaque recognizing Creative Memories as “wish granters.” We’ve got it on display already here in the Home Office. If you’re ever here for a visit you should take a look!
On behalf of the Make-A-Wish Foundation and all the families they serve, thank you for all you do to help bring hope, strength and joy to wish kids.
Nice job everyone!
Yeah, we're really psyched about the new products too. Only a couple more days and you'll be able to take a look! (But you didn't hear that from me.)

That is awesome! It makes me feel really proud about being part of a company that walks it's talk and really shows they care. My folks are excited about the new products and knowing that it also goes for a good cause.
