Make-A-Wish Connecticut is encouraging consumers to go to their local Walmart starting this Saturday to show their support for Make-A-Wish by taking part in a brief demonstration of a Straight Talk Wireless Android smart phone. For every shopper who participates, Straight Talk Wireless will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish, with the ultimate goal of raising $1,000,000.
Carried out under the banner “One Minute One Million,” the Straight Talk Wireless/Make-A-Wish initiative will take place from 10-4 p.m. over four consecutive Saturdays starting today at 28 participating Walmarts in such cities and towns as
Hartford, New Haven, Danbury, and Norwalk across the Make-A-Wish Connecticut region. The funds contributed by Straight Talk Wireless will help grant wishes in Make-A-Wish Connecticut communities and other cities and towns across the country.
