Coop Cares Grants a Wish

Our employee-supported community fund, Coop Cares, was recently given the opportunity to give back to the community in a unique way, by granting a wish for a Make-a-Wish child.

Twelve-year-old Joshua loves the outdoors and made a wish for him and his family to see the Grand Canyon. To make this a reality, we teamed up with Make-a-Wish and the Arkansas Game and Fish to surprise him on his 13 th birthday.

While Joshua was getting a VIP tour of the Crowley’s Ridge Nature Center a surprise party of Craighead Electric and Empower employees was gathering outside. When he emerged from the building a short while later, he spotted the Make-a-Wish banner, hung high in the air from two service trucks, and took off running toward it with excitement. He was truly grateful, and his family was very appreciative.

We hope Joshua and his family enjoy their time together on this adventure. Thank you to all of our employees who donate their time and money to Coop Cares. Your generosity is what makes occasions like this possible.
