Make-A-Wish Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization that grants life-changing wishes to children diagnosed with critical illnesses. Founded in 1980 by Chris Greicius, a child with leukemia who wished to be a police officer, the organization has grown to have tens of thousands of volunteers, donors, and supporters. Make-A-Wish's vision is to grant every eligible child with a wish, and they grant a wish every 34 minutes. In addition to granting wishes, the organization also helps children with critical illnesses overcome anxiety and improve their quality of life by providing them with the necessary tools and resources. Make-A-Wish's mission is to create life-lasting wishes that impact everyone involved, including wish kids, volunteers, sponsors, medical professionals, and communities. The company is based in MD.

The private company is based in Sacramento, CA. The Roofing Contractors Association of California (RCAC) is a nonprofit professional organization dedicated to protecting and advancing the roofing industry through legislative, regulatory, and business advocacy. RCAC serves roofing contractors statewide and addresses industry issues such as workers’ compensation reform, labor laws, fire standards, and proposition 65 settlements. The association offers members benefits including access to a membership directory, discounted online safety compliance training, industry news, networking events, and archives of past industry expo recordings. RCAC partners with Bender Insurance Solutions to provide tailored insurance products and risk management support, and collaborates with sponsors to offer quality roofing products and fall protection equipment at discounted rates.
