You may have recently heard about the incredible event that has made global headlines, this event was organized by Linamar, where a jersey signed by Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift was auctioned off to benefit our charity. This event not only helped us gain global recognition and awareness of our cause but also raised essential funds to support our wish kids.
