Four Wish Kids, One Mission: CSA Raises $60,000 to Grant Wishes for Children of Our Nation's Heroes

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Client Solution Architects (CSA) has concluded its fourth annual Operation Dream Maker campaign in partnership with Make-A-Wish® Mid-Atlantic, raising $60,000 to help grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses whose parents or guardians serve or have served in the military.

During July, CSA employees across the globe came together in four regional teams to support Wish Kids through fundraising efforts, awareness initiatives and friendly competition. Each team embraced a fun theme inspired by their assigned Wish Kid, creating a unique connection to the child they were supporting. This year, all four Wish Kids shared the same wish to visit Walt Disney World® Resort, giving the campaign an extra dose of magic, camaraderie and purpose.

Operation Dream Maker reflects CSA's longstanding commitment to supporting the military community and giving back to the communities where employees live and work. With more than half of CSA's workforce having served in the military, the company remains deeply connected to the unique challenges military families face, particularly when navigating a child's critical illness.

“We are honored to continue our partnership with Make-A-Wish® and grateful for the way the CSA team rallies around Operation Dream Maker each year,” said Greg Blue, chief executive officer of CSA. “Our employees put a tremendous amount of energy into raising funds and supporting these wishes, and it is especially meaningful knowing we can bring some positivity and unforgettable memories to these children and their families as they navigate uniquely demanding challenges.”

Since CSA launched the partnership in 2023, CSA employees and the company have raised more than $220,000 in support of wish-granting efforts for military-connected children, demonstrating the lasting impact of the Operation Dream Maker campaign and CSA's culture of service.
