Make-A-Wish is a charity dedicated to enriching the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through the fulfillment of childhood dreams.  The charity is near and dear to Jim Sartori, Sartori CEO, his wife Jan and their family.  Sartori said, "Just like with our Team Members at Sartori Company, we believe in integrity, in doing the right thing, and in helping those who need it most.  Make-A-Wish falls right in line with our core values.  We are all grateful to have the opportunity to contribute to such a meaningful, worthwhile charity. It is our great wish that the joy this charity provides these youths and their families gives them strength, courage, and hope."       

Last season Mason converted 24 of 28 regular season field goal attempts, a personal best 85% completion rate.  He also set the Green Bay Packer franchise record in October converting a 58 yard kick vs. the Minnesota Vikings. Including the pre and post season kicks, Crosby made a grand total of 32 field goals during the 2011 season.

"Mason is an outstanding athlete and member of our community," says Sartori CEO, Jim Sartori.  "Our Team Members at Sartori were thrilled with his success last season and we were all proud to be able to donate $32,000 to Make-A-Wish.  I hope we're able to continue to build our relationship with Make-A-Wish, Mason, and the Packers Radio Network moving into the future."

Crosby, a personal supporter of Make-A-Wish, is enthusiastic for the opportunity to use his success on the field to make a difference in the lives of those who are suffering.  He was also thrilled to find a natural partner in Sartori, a company he feels shares his appreciation for great artisan cheese and community values. Crosby says, "It is great to be associated with both of these fine organizations."
