AETNA Delivers Thousands of Letters to Macy’s Westfarms As Part of Believe Campaign Benefiting Make-A-Wish®

TRUMBULL, CT – On Friday, December 13, Macy’s Westfarms and Make-A-Wish® Connecticut hosted employees from Aetna, a CVS Health company, to drop off letters and to celebrate raising thousands of dollars for Make-A-Wish through the annual Macy’s Believe campaign. On Thursday, December 12, CVS Health and Aetna engaged employees in 40 locations across the country, including remote employees and employees in their international office, in writing thousands of letters to help grant wishes for children battling critical illnesses as part of their IT Ignite Recognition Day. 

Macy’s beloved Believe letter-writing campaign, in partnership with Make-A-Wish®, seeks to capture the joy and generosity of the holiday season by asking the community to come together to help grant wishes for children with critical illnesses. From November 4 through December 24, 2019, Macy’s is asking customers of all ages to write their letters to Santa and drop them off in stores or submit them online at www.macys.com/believe. For every letter sent, Macy’s will donate $1, up to $1 million, to Make-A-Wish.

ABOUT MAKE-A-WISH CONNECTICUT

Make-A-Wish® Connecticut creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We seek to bring every eligible child's wish to life because a wish is an integral part of a child's treatment journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. Together, generous donors, supporters, staff and volunteers across the state currently grant nearly 250 wishes a year. Since 1986, Make-A-Wish Connecticut has granted more than 3,300 wishes to local children. For more information about Make-A-Wish Connecticut, visit ct.wish.org.
