Maptek Raises for Make-A-Wish

Sigma Phi Epsilon, Colorado Alpha in Boulder, Colorado, raised money as well, collecting and donating USD266 to the foundation.

Mining Engineer, Chuck Winters, winner of the contest, chose Make-A-Wish to receive Maptek's additional donation of USD5,000, bringing the grand total to USD12,300.

With the money raised, Maptek sponsored Drew, a 9 year-old-boy with multiple sclerosis, who will have a "Reptile Experience" with his family in Florida or Washington DC; and 3-year-old Gracie, with a Wilm's Tumor, who will visit Disneyworld with her family in April. Gracie wishes to "see where all of the princesses live and go on train rides and merry-go-rounds".

Other Maptek offices also got involved, with Australian operations raising USD7,000 for their "Movember" cause in support of prostate cancer and mental health research.
