Dear NMASBO Board,
As you consider which charitable organizations to support going forward, I have one that is very close to my heart and that is Make-A-Wish Foundation of NM. My son was granted a wish in March of 2015. It was something that changed his life and our entire family's. NM Make a Wish is able to spend 92% of all money raised on wishes!
I know there are a TON of other worthy campaigns that we can contribute to but I did want to put this one out there!
I learned recently that his story is being featured for the combined federal campaign for Make-A-Wish America. You can read about his wish here:

Thanks for considering!

The NMASBO Board was honored that Kimberly shared Eleck and her family’s story with not only us, but the entire NMASBO Community. We are extremely excited to support Make-A-Wish Foundation of NM in Fiscal Year 2017 and we know that we can count on our membership to help this organization with its very simple mission; to make a wish happen. To find out more information about Make-A-Wish Foundation of NM please visit http://newmexico.wish.org .
I just want to say thank you to all of you who helped to make our first year of the Social Responsibility Campaign a success. I have no doubt that we will do even better this coming year than the last. Your generosity and selflessness is a model for all. In closing I would like to share one more quote that I think sums it all up pretty well:
“That's what I consider true generosity: You give your all, and yet you always feel as if it costs you nothing.”
