Boise, Idaho—This year Make-A-Wish Idaho won a prestigious award as part of Make-A-Wish America’s annual conference, which was held virtually this year due to COVID.
Each year, Make-A-Wish America selects award recipients from the 59 chapters across the country. This year, the Idaho chapter received the Katie Award.
The Katie Award is awarded to chapters cultivating and developing national corporate sponsorship programs that generate $100,000 or more for Make-A-Wish. Make-A-Wish Idaho is grateful to be the hometown chapter for Scentsy, which is headquartered in Meridian. Scentsy designed the Disney Tinkerbell Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust warmer to benefit Make-A-Wish. A portion of the sale of each warmer was given to Make-A-Wish chapters throughout the country.
“Scentsy is a key partner to Make-A-Wish Idaho, and to chapters across the US. Countless wishes have been granted to children with critical illnesses because of Scentsy’s support,” said Janie Best, President and CEO of Make-A-Wish Idaho.
“We believe in contributing more than we take,” said Heidi Thompson, Scentsy Co-CEO. “Right now, children with critical illnesses are waiting for a wish to give them hope and strength. We are grateful for the work of Make-A-Wish and the opportunity to partner together, to help give these children and their families a magical experience that creates a lifelong memory and a break from worry and treatment.”
