MILWAUKEE — Luxaire, a brand of Johnson Controls Inc., has donated more than $3 million to Make-A-Wish throughout its 13-year sponsorship. Over the years, its distributors have attended countless local events, fundraisers, and wish parties.
“We do it because it’s a really good cause,” said Jason Calverley, co-owner, Calverley Supply Company Inc., Sterling Heights, Michigan. Calverley was first exposed to Make-A-Wish in 2003 when his company had the opportunity to host a party for a child who recently traveled to the Florida theme parks. “It was a great experience for all us, so when we’ve had the opportunity to participate in other events, we’re always more than happy to do so. We know we’re doing something worthwhile for the children in our communities. In addition, the relationship with Make-A-Wish helps to separate our contractors from the competition by offering something extra — the opportunity to support the mission of Make-A-Wish.”
