Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. The Foundation's mission reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish® experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors, sponsors and entire communities.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation was founded in 1980 after a little boy named Chris Greicius realized his heartfelt wish to become a police officer. Since its humble beginnings, the organization has blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon, reaching more than 167,000 children around the world.

Nearly two years ago, Remember The Miners was created, a public
 awareness campaign to support the men and women of the coal mining
 industry. At the beginning, they felt their sole focus was to support the
 families of those 29 brave miners lost at the Upper Big Branch mine in
 Montcoal, West Virginia. Along with Coach Huggins, they raised nearly
 $100,000 to support the surviving family members of those lost at
 Upper Big Branch. Since then, they’ve grown into an industry-wide
 campaign to remind people across the coal fields and across the
 country to always remember the miners for the good, important, and
 essential work they do. Work that matters for America.
 In the past months, they’ve been successful in translating the dollars
 of their supporters into real action. Their focus is to turn the
 well-meaning intentions of those who support coal mining and those who
 mine it into real, actionable solutions that truly tell the story of
 coal. From programs in NASCAR to events across the coal fields, they’ve
 been building a true town by town, family by family, person by person
 grassroots campaign. In doing this, their charge has been to remind the
 nation to never forget the men and women of the coal industry in the
 halls of Congress and in everyday life.
 They have generated over a million dollars in earned media, produced
 thousands of dollars in media and ad buys, led events reaching tens of
 thousands, and engaged thousands more through social. In just six
 months’ time, Remember The Miners has built a Scholars Program from
 the ground up that has awarded $25,000 in scholarships to sons and
 daughters of coal miners and those who want to pursue higher education
 in mining.

Toys for Tots is a program that donates toys for less privlaged children.  Little General donated and collected toys at all Little General locations.
