RJ Young, a leading provider of technology solutions based in Nashville, has announced a significant donation of $50,000 to the Make-A-Wish® Foundation. This donation is part of RJ Young’s ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility and giving back to the community. The Make-A-Wish® Foundation is a nonprofit organization renowned for its work in granting life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — RJ Young set a benchmark of $25,000 to be raised by employees over a four-month period, which would be matched by the company upon goal completion. Through the collective efforts of RJ Young employees, they raised $25,000, which was then matched by the company for a total donation of $50,000. The check was presented at RJ Young’s first annual Tech Connect event to Make-A-Wish® Middle Tennessee President and CEO, Beth Torres, on June 4, 2024 in downtown Nashville.

“The power of RJ Young is how they have seamlessly engaged with nine Make-A-Wish® chapters across the southeast to make wishes come true everywhere they do business,” said Beth Torres, President & CEO at Make-A-Wish® Middle Tennessee.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation relies on donations and partnerships with organizations like RJ Young to fulfill its mission of granting wishes that provide hope, strength, and joy to children and their families. RJ Young’s contribution of $50,000 underscores their dedication to supporting children in the communities where they operate and exemplifies its values of compassion, generosity, and making a meaningful impact on society.

Sometimes, corporate philanthropic endeavors seem to come out of nowhere, but in this case, Make-A-Wish® hit closer to home for RJ Young.

“I recently joined Make-A-Wish® Middle Tennessee on the Board of Directors,” said AJ Baggott, President at RJ Young, “because of my passion for this organization and the good that I’ve seen come from it. My wife, Miranda, spent several years working for MAW as a community outreach manager in Nashville. She experienced the difficulties these families faced first-hand navigating these devastating childhood illnesses, but also seeing the light that these wishes brought to a very dark time for these kids and their families.”

While the presentation in Nashville was ceremonious, the contributed funds were put toward wishes for children across all five regions of RJ Young’s operating territory in the Southeast.

Coming together to do good business is always profitable, but RJ Young employees know that making a difference in their community is its own reward. By supporting the Make-A-Wish® Foundation, RJ Young continues its commitment to giving back to the community and making a positive impact on the lives of children in need.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with RJ Young,” said Beth Torres, President & CEO at Make-A-Wish® Middle Tennessee. “Their culture of giving back means their employees actively look for ways to make a difference where they live and do business. I appreciate a Nashville-based company giving back to make wishes come true in our community, but the power of RJ Young is how they have seamlessly engaged with nine Make-A-Wish® chapters across the southeast to make wishes come true everywhere they do business. RJ Young makes wishes come true!”
