Primary Residential Mortgage Continues Commitment to Make-A-Wish Foundation
SALT LAKE CITY, UT — SEPTEMBER 12, 2007 — As part of a continued initiative to give back to the community, Primary Residential Mortgage, Inc. (PRMI) has made $10,000 in contributions so far this year to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Utah. PRMI has enjoyed a long relationship with Make-A-Wish and has donated over $95,000 since 2004.
"The Make-A-Wish Foundation has a tremendous mission, one that we feel privileged to support," says David Zitting, President and CEO of PRMI. "I'm personally committed to ensuring that PRMI continues to assist this amazing charity."
PRMI's attention was first drawn to Make-A-Wish when one of the company's executive's, CFO Steve Chapman, had his child's wish fulfilled through the program. In the years since, Chapman and Zitting have both sat on the board of directors in addition to making company and personal contributions. PRMI has sponsored the Make-A-Wish golf tournament and the annual Gala and has "adopted" wishes granted by the company through their funding. PRMI employees have also participated in various volunteer capacities as well as on event committees.
"Primary Residential Mortgage has made a transformational commitment to the children served by the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Utah," says Christine Sharer, CEO of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Utah. "The company's own employees and executives have had first-hand experience of the impact of a serious illness on a child and a family. They have translated that experience into generous compassion on behalf of all Utah children who face life-threatening medical conditions and the families who support them through challenging and frightening times."
Each year, the Make-A-Wish Foundation's Utah chapter grants approximately 130 wishes. The chapter also hosts additional wishes for children from other states visiting Utah for a wish experience. Wishes are granted to terminally ill children and range from celebrity visits to dream vacations.
