🏆 Today, May 30, NECA is honored to support Make-A-Wish Connecticut at their wonderful event in Trumbull.
A huge thank you to the organization for this beautiful recognition, and an even bigger shoutout to Max! Max is a brave 9-year-old fighting lymphoma whose ultimate wish is to become a chess master. We are thrilled to support an organization that brings hope and strength to local children when they need it most. Keep playing, Max! ♟️✨

We are proudly fundraising for Make-A-Wish– will you join me by donating today?

When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. The majority of wish kids go on to beat their critical illnesses, and research shows that a wish can help children build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight – giving them a better chance of surviving and thriving.

NECA is a proud sponsor and we would be honored for you to be too! Scan the QR code below or click on the link to donate.
