Make-A-Wish Campaign

RJ Young is proud to partner with Make-A-Wish chapters throughout our Southeastern footprint to raise money and grant wishes to children with critical illnesses! Our local communities are important to us and giving back to them is always something we prioritize.  

Join us for our second year of supporting this life-changing initiative, to help us raise $25,000. If we hit our goal, RJ Young will match our contributions – donating a total of $50,000 to the organization! This goal allows us to grant wishes in each of our markets, which benefits every community we are a part of. We will be presenting a donation check to Make-A-Wish at our Tech Connect event on Tuesday, June 4th. Make-A-Wish will also be doing a wish granting ceremony during the event for one of the kids whose wish we have granted.

From now until our Tech Connect event on Tuesday, June 4th, RJ Young employees will be raising money for their local Make-A-Wish chapters. We invite you to join us if you are able, so we can grant as many wishes as possible to our local communities.  

See below for fundraising links you can use to donate by state:  

AJ Baggott - Square Headshot

"I recently joined Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee on the Board of Directors because of my passion for this organization and the good that I’ve seen come from it. My wife, Miranda, spent several years working for MAW as a community outreach manager in Nashville. She experienced the difficulties these families faced first-hand navigating these devastating childhood illnesses, but also seeing the light that these wishes brought to a very dark time for these kids and their families.

I hope you will join me in contributing to this great cause, every little bit helps."

- AJ Baggott, President at RJ Young
