Support Isaac Make A Wish For Christmas Charity AFF Event 2016

[SpoolMan]

Its very pleasing to be part of such a giving community of car enthusiasts and it makes me proud that were able to raise such a huge amount.
I will share part of the email I received from Make A Wish yesterday when I told them the amount the Forum raised.

''The contribution Ford Forum has made to Isaac’s Wish has blown me away.
On behalf of everyone at Make-A-Wish I would like to thank you and all the supporters at Ford Forum.''

And big thanks to RussW who said the Forum would balance the difference up to the $7500.

Awesome job by everyone who contributed and organised this great opportunity.

I hope Isaac and his family have a great day and that, for at least one day, Isaac's troubles fade into obscurity!

I also hope we get an opportunity to hear about how much Isaac enjoyed his day out.

Well done all.

We will be soon starting our 2017 Make A Wish charity event, approval has been given we are now waiting to be paired with a with a child who we can help get there wish.
There are over 600 kids waiting for there with to be granted, it would be great if we could achieve what we did last year and get another child off that list.


Thank you for taking my call again to discuss the support of Ford Forum for 2017. Thank you for choosing to fundraise for Make-A-Wish Australia and for taking action to make another wish happen!
Over the last 2 years you have raised $13,000 supporting allowing us to grant the wishes of Isaac in 2016 and Callum in 2015.
Currently at Make-A-Wish wish we have over 600 kids waiting to receive their wish and I can assure you that the support of Ford Forum is so appreciated.
Wish Child:
Now that I have the green light from you I will work with our Wish Services team to select 2 or 3 wishes for you to choose which one you want to support. As discussed on the phone this morning I will look to find one around the same amount as last year.


Best wishes,
