Funds raised from sales of $1 Wish Stars will
grant wishes for 10 Arizona kids facing life-threatening medical
conditions
Thanks to the kindness and generosity of the Arizona community,
Jack in the Box® restaurants raised $90,461 in March for
Make-A-Wish® Arizona. The funds were raised through the
month-long sale of $1 Wish Stars at more than 160 Jack in the Box
restaurants in the Phoenix, Tucson, Lake Havasu City and Flagstaff
areas.
Additionally, the Arizona Diamondbacks donated $5,000 and local
Jack in the Box franchise operators contributed an additional
$4,539, bringing the total funds raised to $100,000.
With these funds, Jack in the Box will help Make-A-Wish Arizona
grant 10 wishes for Arizona children facing life-threatening
medical conditions. This is the third year in a row that Jack in
the Box has partnered with the wish-granting organization.
“It means so much to all of us at Jack in the Box to help make a
difference for Arizona wish kids,” said Adam Stine, Jack in the Box
Franchise Operator and Make-A-Wish Arizona Board Member. “Our
Arizona franchisees, restaurant teams and guests all came together
to raise funds and truly exemplify what it means to be a
community.”
“For the third year in a row, Jack in the Box customers and
employees have proven unwavering in their fundraising support for
Arizona children in need of hope, strength and joy,” said Elizabeth
Reich, Chief Executive Officer and President of Make-A-Wish
Arizona. “As a result of our partnership with Jack in the Box, we
are able to continue granting wishes and put smiles on the faces of
kids who might need something positive to balance their fears and
worries.”
Jack in the Box will commemorate this fundraising achievement by
hosting two parties for wish kids. The first is on Thursday, April
7, at 3:30 p.m., at the Jack in the Box restaurant located at 934
E. Speedway Boulevard in Tucson, and a second party will take place
on Monday, April 11, at 3:30 p.m., at the Jack in the Box
restaurant located at 427 W. McKellips Road in Mesa.
