Hy's Limousine partners with Make-A-Wish® Connecticut to help make wishes come true for Connecticut children

Hy’s Limousine, Connecticut’s leading luxury limousine company, has partnered with Make-A-Wish® Connecticut as their exclusive limousine service to help make wishes come true for Connecticut children battling life-threatening medical conditions.

The mission of the Make-A-Wish Foundation is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. The Connecticut chapter has granted over 2,200 wishes since its inception in 1986, and over 160 wishes last year alone. Make-A-Wish Connecticut has held a long-standing relationship with Hy’s Limousine, working with them to create magical travel experiences for wish recipients to and from the airport, on shopping sprees, and to wish destinations such as meet and greets with celebrities, etc. 2013 serves as a milestone year in that relationship, as Hy’s and Make-A-Wish Connecticut become exclusive partners, thanks to the wonderful in-kind contributions Hy’s has committed to the Foundation and the children it serves.

Make-A-Wish Connecticut President & CEO Mike Burke commented, “We are thankful to the team at Hy’s Limousine for partnering with us to make wishes come true for Connecticut kids. Thanks to Hy’s, kids with life-threatening medical conditions will be treated to top-notch limousine service as part of the Make-A-Wish experience. Hy’s has been helping us for many years and it is only fitting that they are now our exclusive limousine partner.”

Hy’s will serve Make-A-Wish Connecticut for every eligible child whose wish involves travel from one destination to another; local wishes will enable children to “ride in style” while travel wishes will give kids transportation to and from the airport with a touch of class.

Make-A-Wish Connecticut thanks Hy’s Limousine for their continued friendship and the newly-instituted partnership, and looks forward to years of making kids’ wishes come true together.
