"We are honored to have partnered with Make-A-Wish as the inaugural organization to benefit from this grant," commented Mike Dudiak, CFO. "By contributing to our regional Make-A-Wish chapter, we can help area children and families find the hope, strength and joy they often need."
"Wishes strengthen kids in their battles against life-threatening medical conditions and leave an impact that is powerful and lasting," said Doug Kelly, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana. "We're incredibly grateful for the role Performance Motorsports International is playing to provide life-changing wishes to kids in their community." "Make-A-Wish involves our entire community," continues Dudiak. "Our local chapter has granted over 14,000 wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions since its inception in 1983. The positive impact it generates is absolutely amazing, and we wanted to contribute to this impact in our own community. We are happy to support this great organization, and having the ability to positively impact a child's life, and his or her entire family, truly makes a difference."
This contribution was supported in part through a new matching grant initiative by the philanthropic arm of PMI's parent company, Dover Corporation. The Dover Foundation helps support not-for-profit organizations, causes and/or projects that benefit the local communities in which its Operating Companies are located.
