New England-based VIP Tires & Service has announced the results of this past year’s fundraising efforts for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in a recent press release.
The company operates nearly 70 locations across New England, employing around 600 staff members. In 2023, VIP employees at the company’s 35 locations and support center in Maine donated over $80,000, while employees from the company’s 34 locations in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont donated over $57,000 altogether.
The donations received were then matched by VIP Executive Chairman John Quirk at the end of the year, bringing 2023’s total donations to just over $275,000. Since first beginning its fundraising efforts for Make-A-Wish in the past few years, VIP has raised more than $1.275 million for the organization.
“In 2023, the VIP team took our support for Make-A-Wish to an entirely new level, setting a new record with over $275,000 in contributions to one of the world’s most impactful charities,” said VIP President and CEO Tim Winkeler. “VIP keeps proving that businesses large and small can play pivotal role in helping those in need, and I couldn’t be prouder of our employees for supporting such a noble cause.”
