The Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation, the charitable arm of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, recently presented a check for $2,000 to Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley, located in Tarrytown. Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Since 1986, Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley has granted the wishes of more than 3,000 children in the Hudson Valley region with critical illnesses. Serving
the eight counties of Delaware, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester, the chapter’s mission is to ensure that every eligible
child residing in the Hudson Valley who qualifies for a wish is granted their most heartfelt wish. While wishes are referred and completed on an ongoing basis,
an average of 150 wishes are in progress at any given time.

“We are deeply grateful for HGAR’s continued generous support. They are truly making a difference in the lives of our wish kids and their families, “said Tom
Conklin, Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley CEO. Make-A-Wish also accepts donated airline miles to help Wish kids and their families travel to destinations around the world. Once donated, your miles will never expire and are used to support wishes across the country.
