FirstLight, a leading provider of digital infrastructure services
to enterprise and carrier customers throughout the Northeast and
mid-Atlantic, announced today that it is sponsoring the Richard D.
Mahoney Charity Golf Classic to benefit Make-A-Wish New Hampshire.
FirstLight is a Platinum sponsor and will participate in the
tournament at Candia Woods Golf Links in New Hampshire on June
13th.
Make-A-Wish is an international organization that serves to
fulfill the wishes of critically ill children and has brought
550,000 wishes to life in 43 years.
“Wish kids” must meet certain criteria to qualify for having
their wish granted. According to the organization, “The Make-A-Wish
journey is an opportunity for children who are living with a
life-threatening illness to experience the joy of a life-long wish
being granted. The experience and impact of a wish strengthens the
child’s hope and can have a positive impact on their mental
health.”
A wish is granted approximately every four days in New
Hampshire, and each year, 80 to 90 wishes are granted to Granite
State children. Make-A-Wish New Hampshire has granted 2,000 wishes
in 37 years. Over the years, FirstLight has contributed a total of
$13,000 to Make-A-Wish New Hampshire by sponsoring the annual
tournament.
