Staff and customers of Richmond Honda will help put a smile on a child’s face after raising $8,494 for Make-A-Wish Foundation B.C. and Yukon.

Every year, staff at Richmond Honda organize a goodwill campaign and select a good cause to donate to, said Richmond Honda’s Irene Chua.

This year, it was Make-A-Wish, which makes wishes come true for children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Money was raised through 50/50 draws, bake sales and other draws. Richmond Honda matched the money raised by employees.

Make-A-Wish, which doesn’t receive government funding and relies on donations, was grateful for Richmond Honda’s generosity.

“(This donation) fully funds a wish for a child. A child’s wish will come true because of this,” said Stuart Chase, director of marketing and communications for Make-A-Wish, who was on hand to pick up the cheque.
