“The Christmas Wish started as the Kid’s Crusade Foundation for the purpose of assisting children in need and children’s charities. In 1973, the name was changed to the CHUM Charitable Foundation in order to broaden the scope of the foundation’s work, including the increase in requests for financial assistance.”
Dr. Ron Murphy, has been supporting youth organizations by giving great reading materials that inspire and uplift. He has provided well over 75,000 books to these groups in the past few years. Toys for Tots, Boys & Girls Clubs, and schools and libraries through the US have sent praise and appreciation for his unrelenting dedication and support.
He’s decided that there is yet another place that he can bring his help and he is doing just that.
Dr. Murphy recently said, “When I realized that the purpose of the Christmas Wish is really: ‘Give joy today, restore hope for tomorrow.’ I knew I had to support them. This aligns with my very purpose which is to give joy and restore hope to our youth through books. Books are inspirational and bring hope. Good characters set good examples, they work for the good and overcome obstacles. The youth impacted by the Christmas Wish deserve to have hope. And so I must work to make sure they do!”
Dr. Murphy continues to give to his community and beyond and is a leader not only as a health care and professional but also as a friend to the world at large.
