TD SYNNEX Share the Magic Colorado Meets Fundraising Goal

Thanks to your generosity, we have surpassed our initial $10,000 goal for TD SYNNEX Share the Magic Colorado! In just six weeks and through the busy holiday season, we totaled $10,051! And you know what that means: We qualify for additional funding.

That’s right, because we hit our goal, the family of Peter Larocque, President of TD SYNNEX Corporation, has already donated a matching $10,000. On top of that, Cisco is providing a $5,000 sponsorship.

If you’ve been doing the math, that means we now have $25,000 to Share the Magic with our two beneficiary organizations: Hope for the Warriors and the Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation.

All of this and we are just getting started! In the weeks and months to come, you will be hearing more about plans to expand our reach in the community as we continue to raise funds to enable us to Share the Magic.

Although somewhat limited by current COVID-19 restrictions, we will do our best to get creative and come up with some fun activities. To that point, if you know of any virtual fund-raising events that you think would work for Share the Magic, please contact us at sharethemagicco@synnex.com.

In the meantime, we are continuing to accept donations. Every dollar counts, every donation has an impact, and every person we help feels the love.

One way to continue to help Share the Magic is to spread the word. Help multiply our voices and encourage team members, family, and friends to donate if they share a desire to make a tax-deductible contribution.

Again, thank you for your generous support. We look forward to working with you to Share the Magic throughout Colorado in 2021.

  • Make-A-Wish South Carolina granted 184 wishes last year, averaging a wish every forty-eight hours. Make-A-Wish believes hope is medicine, and their mission is to grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Wishes provide wish kids with hope, renewed energy and strength – aiding them in facing their conditions and in healing.

As one of 62 Make-A-Wish chapters across the U.S., the South Carolina chapter has been granting wishes for local kids with life-threatening medical conditions since 1984. The chapter has never turned away a qualified child.
