Show your Support for Make-A-Wish, with your Next Bloomex Purchase!
Every year there are children in Canada who learn they face a life-threatening illness. For many, being granted a magical wish, however simple, can provide them with much needed hope, strength and joy during this challenging time.
Make-A-Wish Canada was formed in 1983 by Nigel Brown and Robb Lucy of British Columbia. The very first wish granted by Make-A-Wish Canada was given to a 13-year-old girl named Debbie, who was suffering with leukemia. Debbie wished to go visit her grandparents in Germany. When Nigel and Robb heard about her story, they paid for the trip personally, and Debbie’s wish was fulfilled. Debbie was given a chance to enjoy a heart-warming and intimate experience with her family before she passed away. But the joy and love she received in that time didn’t go unwarranted. As a result of Debbie’s wish, Make-A-Wish® Canada took off and kept running.
As the largest florist in the nation, Bloomex Canada is very pleased to announce its partnership with Make-A-Wish® Canada in an effort to see even more wishes granted coast to coast.
