Collette has announced it will match donations during the remainder of Ensemble’s Make-a-Wish fundraising campaign. Ensemble has set a goal of raising $150,000 for the Make-a-Wish Foundation, which supports critically ill children and their families to live out a dream. Many of the wishes are travel experiences, so the foundation seemed liked a natural fit for Ensemble.
“Ensemble has a long history as a proud supporter of Make-A-Wish, and we’ve seen firsthand the extraordinary impact that can be achieved when our community comes together around a shared purpose,” says Michael Johnson, President of Ensemble. “With Collette stepping forward as our matching partner, we have an incredible opportunity to accelerate our efforts and inspire even greater participation across our network of members and partners.”
The goal is already in sight, with help from member agencies including Fareconnect, Crown Cruise Vacations, Goldrush Getaways, Go Travel Company, Escapes.ca and others.
Through The Collette Foundation in the United States and Collette Foundation Canada, Collette will offer a 1:1 match on donations up to $25,000 USD, split evenly between the two countries, through April 19.
“Supporting Make-A-Wish alongside Ensemble and our travel community is deeply aligned with the mission of the Collette Foundation,” said Melissa Snape, Head of Corporate Citizenship at Collette. “We believe in the transformative power of travel, and by joining this campaign we have an opportunity to help bring comfort, joy, and hope to children and families who need it most. We’re proud to stand with Ensemble in rallying the industry around such meaningful impact.”
Further amplifying the campaign’s impact, Ensemble’s parent company has committed to match the $150,000 fundraising target dollar-for-dollar, effectively doubling the total contribution generated by the travel advisor community and its partners.
With Collette’s new matching commitment in place, Ensemble is encouraging members, partners and employees across North America to continue supporting the campaign and help turn wishes into reality for children and families who need it most.
Horizons, Ensemble’s flagship annual event, taking place at Resorts World Las Vegas, will bring the entire network together under this year’s theme, Bring it On, with curated content, intimate conversations and direct access to Ensemble leadership and top partners to help members sharpen their edge and uncover new ways to drive revenue.
