Milwaukee’s corporate community turned out in full force for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin’s annual 5k walk and run on Milwaukee’s lakefront. More than 2,200 participants walked or ran in the event, and raised more than $145,000 for wishes.
"It truly was a magical day, especially with so many businesses, individuals, wish kids and families participating and raising pledges to make wishes come true for other kids," said Brian Trexell of Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc., event and board chairman of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin. "This year’s walk is part of our 25th birthday celebration, and we couldn’t have done it without our generous supporters and volunteers who helped make the day a success.”
