Make-A-Wish Volunteer Efforts Increase to 45%

Advocate, D.O. is committed to the support of our local communities through sponsorship of the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Central and South Texas Chapter, a global non-profit organization that grants the heart-felt wishes of children with life threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy.

Currently, over 45% of Advocate, D.O. employees are volunteers for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® with one executive on the Make-A-Wish Foundation® Board. Over nine employees and guests volunteered for the Texas Classic Car Show in Austin benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation® Central and South Texas Chapter.
