A Harvester in the Black Country has helped to raise more than £100,000 to support children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions.

The funds raised will be donated to Harvester’s official charity, Make-A-Wish Foundation, which the restaurant chain has supported over the past seven years.

The Foxhunt Harvester in Halesowen has helped raised the £105,000 donation principally through the special Make-A-Wish Sundae, which featured on the menu during 2012 and saw a donation from every sundae sold going towards the charity.

Karen Baskett, Retail Director for Harvester said: “Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK makes a positive difference to children and young people across the country. We are delighted to help to support the once-in-a-lifetime experiences that these children deserve.

“We owe a big thanks to all our customers who purchased a Harvester sundae and helped to contributed to the fundraising total.”

Staff members from Harvester’s across the country carried out their own fundraising activities to contribute to the grand total.

The £105,000 raised by Harvester will enable Make A Wish to grant more than 26 wishes. The total means that over the past seven years during which Harvester has been supporting the foundation, more than £300,000 has been raised for the children’s charity.

Amanda Williams, Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK’s Director of Fundraising, added: “We are thrilled to continue our strong relationship with Harvester for the seventh year running and want to say a big thank you for their donation.

“The donations we receive make a real difference to the children’s lives and create precious memories for their whole family.”

Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK helps to make dreams a reality for children and young people with life-threatening conditions and give families precious moments together. It was founded in the UK in June 1986 and, since then, has granted more than 8,000 wishes.
