More dreams will be coming true for Make-a-Wish recipients thanks to the generosity of the Ensemble community. With help from some of their preferred partners, members of Ensemble raised $126,000, donations that were then matched by Ensemble’s parent company, the Range Group. Doubling the donations significantly expanded the campaign's impact,  helping to grant life-changing wishes for more children facing critical illnesses.  

The money raised through the campaign is expected to help grant approximately 25 wishes across the U.S. and Canada.

More than 70 percent of all wishes involve travel, making the partnership feel like a natural fit for Ensemble and its members. A statement from the company said: “For an organization built around the transformative power of travel, helping make those journeys possible is a natural extension of Ensemble's belief that travel can be a force for good.”

"One of the things that makes Ensemble special is the strength of our community," said Michael Johnson, President of Ensemble. "When our members, partners and team come together around a common purpose, the impact extends far beyond our industry. Thanks to their incredible generosity, we're helping Make-A-Wish make wishes come true for children and families while demonstrating that travel truly can be a force for good."

Ensemble invites anyone interested in joining “a modern travel agency consortium with a commitment to community and corporate responsibility” to visit www.ensembletravel.com for more information.
