Railbookers Group has teamed up with Make-A-Wish to raise funds to grant wishes for children with critical illnesses.

“In addition to a corporate financial and trip donation by Railbookers Group, customers who book [Railbookers and Amtrak Vacations] trips can contribute $1 per traveling passenger (or £1 for United Kingdom-based customers) towards Make-A-Wish,” Railbookers said.

Railbookers Group will match each donation, which will be sent to Make-A-Wish chapter.

“A diagnosis upends childhood, bringing months, and sometimes years, of fear and traumatic stress into the life of a child and their family,” said LuAnn Bott, vice president of revenue partnerships and services at Make-A-Wish America.

“We know that wishes can lead to improved medical outcomes and better chances of survival, and they wouldn’t be possible without supporters like Railbookers Group.”

Added Railbookers Group President & CEO Frank Marini: “This partnership is a natural for us – every day we provide world-class service to our customers as they travel on unforgettable independent rail vacations around the world.

“We are excited to do the same for these amazing children who are enduring some of the worst critical illnesses. Giving them a chance to experience the trips of their dreams not only gives them an extraordinary experience, but in many cases has proven to help lead to more positive health outcomes.”
