Biesse Group is celebrating the 15th year of supporting the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

"It gives us great joy to know that with each wish we help grant, a child and their family get a mental break from treatments and doctor visits, so they can simply enjoy time spent being a family and most importantly, being a kid," the company said.

The amount raised this year exceeded the company's most “Wishful” thinking. In the four days during IWF, the “Give” campaign succeeded in raising enough money to fully sponsor four complete wishes.  First, Biesse pledged to celebrate its customers by making a $100 donation to Make-A-Wish for each machine sold. We ultimately donated $15,000, which is enough to grant two wishes, one for a child in the U.S. and one for a child in Canada.  

But the story does not end there. During Biesse's VIP event, a member of The Forest C and Francis H. Lattner Foundation matched the company's donation, committing another $15,000 to Make-A-Wish to bring the total number of wishes granted to four. The Lattner Foundation's "exceptional generosity proves once again that we have the best and most supportive customers, friends, and extended communities in the world," the company  said 

Even though IWF 2022 is history, there’s still time to make a difference. Biesse invites all woodworkers to help make a child’s wish come true by making a donation to Make-A-Wish by clicking here. "We will be so grateful for any and all donations, regardless of the amount," the company said.
