El Paso, TX (April 28, 2025) |
Hope will be on the move this Sunday, April 27, as families, friends, and wish supporters gather at Ascarte Park for the annual Walk & Run for Wishes, hosted by Make-A-Wish North Texas. This year's event carries special significance as it helps power the organization toward granting its 1,000th life-changing wish, an emotional milestone made possible through the generosity of the community and the commitment of partners like Raiz Federal Credit Union.
As the official Energy Sponsor of the 2025 Walk & Run for Wishes, Raiz will fuel the day by providing snacks to hundreds of participants rallying behind one shared goal; to grant wishes for local children battling critical illnesses.
"At Raiz, we believe in investing in the moments that matter, especially those that bring joy, hope, and strength, to children when they need it most," said Alejandro Yu, VP of Marketing for Raiz Federal Credit Union. "We're proud to walk alongside Make-A-Wish North Texas as they approach the incredible milestone of their 1,000th wish."
Raiz's partnership with Make-A-Wish extends beyond the event. Through its El Paso Children's Hospital Spirit Debit Card, Raiz offers members an effortless way to give back year-round. Raiz will donate to the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals for every non-PIN or signature transaction made using the card, which shares Make-A-Wish's mission of delivering healing through hope. By choosing this special debit card, members help local children receive specialized care, by helping fund family care grants, medical equipment, training, and medical programs.
Funds raised from Sunday's walk and the Drive 1000 Wishes Truck Sweepstakes will directly support the fulfillment of unforgettable wishes for children in the region, from meeting their heroes to experiencing a seven-day adventure.
Join us this Sunday, April 27, 2025, and help turn steps into stories of strength. Participants can register, donate, or learn more at www.wish.org/ntx. And for those looking to continue their impact, visit www.raiz.us to request your El Paso Children's Hospital Spirit Debit Card today.
