Solar Supply & Luxaire Host Make-A-Wish Event Hunter Fournier Gets His Wish.

Solar Supply and Luxaire teamed up to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation taking Hunter Fournier and his mom, Sarah to see a professional baseball game. The Houston Astros played the San Francisco Giants at Minute Maid Park in downtown Houston, Texas. The game began at 7:00pm in near-perfect weather.      

Nikki Eliason of the Make-A-Wish Foundation met the Fournier family at the park. Solar Supply was represented by Regional Sales Manager Quitman Moon, Store Manager Willie Baker, and Willie’s children Justin and Jessica. The group was treated to some great baseball, unlimited hotdogs, and great fellowship with Hunter and his mom.

The 2010 baseball season represents the sixth year that Solar Supply has sponsored these special children and their families at Minute Maid Park. The baseball experience includes tickets to a game, food and drink money and additional funds to cover a trip to the souvenir shop.

“The goal is to create an evening of fun that will not cost the family anything,” said Quitman Moon, Solar Supply regional sales manager. “These are special children and families, and we just want them to enjoy the game and everything that comes with it. If we’re lucky enough to put a smile on their face, well, then we put one on ours as well.”

Solar Supply’s sponsorship of Make-A-Wish children at Houston Astros games complements the partnership between the nation’s largest wishgranting organization and Luxaire. Last year Luxaire signed its third three-year contract with the Make- A-Wish Foundation® of America. This extends the partnership into 2011 and commits $675,000 in contributions over three years.

Luxaire first embarked on a partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation in 2001, agreeing to donate a portion of every sale of a Luxaire product toward its minimum annual contribution of $250,000. Since that time, Luxaire has donated more than $1.75 million to the organization, enough to grant the wishes of more than 250 children diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions.
