Due to the generosity of our Local 371 members and the employers for whom they work, Local 371 was able to raise over $20,000 to be donated to the CT Make a Wish Foundation from the proceeds of our Annual Golf Tournament.

Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Founded in 1980, Make-A-Wish is the world’s leading children’s wish-granting organization, having granted more than 650,000 wishes in nearly 50 countries worldwide. Every 25 seconds, a child is diagnosed with a critical illness and becomes eligible for a wish. Wish experiences can restore the childhood stolen by a critical illness diagnosis and improve physical, psychological and emotional well-being. All money raised in CT goes to granting wishes for CT’s children.
