Kia Motors, official sponsor of Euro 2012, is donating US$100,000 to its selected charity, Make-A-Wish International. The automaker has also invited six children to serve as official ball carriers during the matches in Poland and Ukraine.
"Make-A-Wish International is thrilled to be Kia's selected charity and know that our wish children are very excited to take part in UEFA EURO 2012," said Jon Stettner, president and chief executive officer of Make-A-Wish International. "A wish come true helps children feel stronger, more energetic and more willing and able to battle their life-threatening medical conditions. All the children attending are an example of the strength given through a granted wish. This opportunity offers a wonderful way for our wish children and Kia to take part in celebrating our mission and love for football together!"
Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. The Quebec chapter will host its sixth annual Ride for Wishes event at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal from September 14th to 16th, 2012 and Auto123.com will enter three teams of riders.
