Navient awards grant to Make-A-Wish
September 30 2015 - 10:46AM
Employees of local employer Navient raised $9,000 to support
Make-A-Wish®, a nonprofit organization dedicated to granting the
wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to
enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.
"We are thrilled to have the support of Navient's employees for
a second year. Their dedication to our mission and the children in
their local community is inspiring," said Kelsey Leichtnam,
development officer, Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana.
"Navient has helped to create lasting memories for a very special
wish family. We could not do our work without partners like
Navient."
The grant was 100 percent funded by employee contributions from
Navient's Jeans BeCause Program. The program offers participating
employees a "pass" to dress casually on certain days for their
volunteer donations.
It is one of several workplace events and fundraising activities
planned by an employee-led committee to support local charities in
the area. A few other nonprofits that have benefited from the
program this year include: Humane Society of Hamilton County,
American Cancer Society of Central Indiana, Alzheimer's Association
of Greater Indiana, and Gleaners Food Bank.
"Make-A-Wish has been graciously serving and inspiring the
children of Indiana, and countless other areas, for many years,"
said Jon Kroehler, senior vice president, Navient. "We are grateful
for their generosity and are proud to support their efforts."
