TKE Partners with Angelwish for the Holidays

AngelwishINDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – In an effort to ensure a happy holiday season for children and families around the world living with HIV/ AIDS, Tau Kappa Epsilon International Fraternity is proud to announce a partnership with Angelwish. Founder and CEO Shimmy Mehta, a member of TKE, is excited to be working with TKE, an organization that gave him a solid foundation during his college years. 

“While in school I did a lot of growing up and in TKE I learned many valuable tools that helped me form Angelwish,” said Mehta. “Through this organization, I have helped children all across the globe see that we all care for their well being and I hope TKE will help continue this tradition this year. This holiday season I am calling on my fellow Fraters to show the world what this Fraternity is all about.”

Angelwish has set up a dedicated website for members to go and browse wishes of children from all around the world. From the comfort of your home computer, laptop, and even your phone, Fraters can find a toy to purchase for a child so he or she can have a happy holiday season. It’s that simple.  

“During the holidays, we all love to see the smiles on the faces of children opening presents and when Shimmy approached us about this, we wanted to figure out a way to help,” said Tom McAninch, Director of Communication. “These kids are facing very tough battles and as Tekes we need to do what we can to let them be children. If a toy from you or me can help them forget about their troubles for a little while, then that’s what we need to do.”
 

All you need to do to Grant a Wish for one of these children is select the country and follow the instructions from there. The process takes a few minutes and the impact lasts a lifetime. Help the TKE Nation truly Build a Better World by giving the children of Angelwish a better holiday season.
