(Columbus, Ohio) April 3, 2023 - Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2023 honor by Columbus C.E.O. Magazine Top Workplaces. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The confidential survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.

"We're thrilled to be named a Top Workplace for 2023!” said Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana President & CEO Stephanie McCormick. “Our dedicated and caring employees work to deliver hope to children and families in our community every day. We can't grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses without them. They truly are shining stars for the children and families we serve!"

“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That's something to be proud of. In today's market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That's paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”

Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana's mission is to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Since our founding in 1983, we’ve granted more than 19,000 wishes for kids across our three states. In 2023, we celebrate our 40th anniversary and will grant our 20,000th wish! After 40 years of wish granting, our chapter has proven time and time again that light can shine in even the darkest and most uncertain times.
