[QUOTE="ROBO MOD, post: 1464570, member: 51121"] [I]The wonder of children highlighted in first videos[/I] UPS® (NYSE:UPS) is making some special wishes come true beyond its regular daily delivery of millions of packages this holiday season. [URL='http://www.ups.com/wishes'][I]Your Wishes Delivered[/I][/URL], a campaign designed to invite the public to share their wishes during the holidays, launched in mid-November and videos of the first [I]Wishes Delivered[/I] are available to be viewed. The first [I]Wish Delivered[/I] arranged for a group of fourth graders in Corpus Christi, Texas, to see [URL='http://youtu.be/G1LEP1d50Gg']snow[/URL] for the first time in their lives. The city experienced a rare and remarkable snowfall 10 years ago - before any of the children were born - and there has been a recurring wish to have snow return. A second [I]Wish Delivered[/I] let a little boy in Colorado Springs, Colo., who has a special relationship with his UPS driver, realize his dream to be a UPS delivery man for a day.

"Our hope is to share these moments as well as deliver some special wishes made by the communities we serve." Since its launch, the campaign has collected thousands of wishes tagged with #WishesDelivered. The company will donate $1 for each wish submitted using #WishesDelivered to one of three charities - The Boys & Girls Clubs of America, The Salvation Army or Toys for Tots Literacy Program*. These charities are benefitting in other ways.
