Thanks to a sustainability grant from Green Mountain Energy Sun Club, Make-A-Wish North Texas installed a new energy management system in its Addison headquarters. This system automatically adjusts the lights and room temperature throughout the day to reduce energy consumption.

The monetary savings achieved by this system upgrade will allow Make-A-Wish to “power up” more wishes for children facing critical illnesses across the 161 counties we serve in North Texas. Green Mountain Energy Sun Club provides grants to nonprofits for projects that focus on renewable energy, energy efficiency, resource conservation and environmental stewardship.

“Our mission at Sun Club is to help local organizations that are making a positive impact in the community become more sustainable,” said Mark Parsons, vice president and general manager for Green Mountain Energy. “We’re excited to support Make-A-Wish and play a role in more children seeing their dreams become a reality.”

On Oct. 19, 2022, employees and supporters of Make-A-Wish North Texas and representatives from Green Mountain Energy Sun Club gathered at the Make-A-Wish North Texas headquarters in Addison to “flip the switch” on the new energy management system.

“The new energy management system will allow us to conserve energy, save fundraising dollars and ultimately grant more wishes for children with critical illnesses across our 161 counties. Right now, we have nearly 1,200 kids waiting for their wishes to be granted, and this generous grant will help reduce that number,” said Kim Elenez, president and chief executive officer of Make-A-Wish North Texas. “We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Green Mountain Energy Sun Club to make more wishes come true for local kids!”
