MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (PRWEB)

Wireless Zone®, a Verizon authorized retailer and the nation’s largest wireless retail franchise, recently donated $25,000 to the Children’s Tumor Foundation through its philanthropic Wireless Zone Foundation for Giving®. The check presentation took place at the Children’s Tumor Foundation 2019 Charity Golf Tournament in Orlando, Florida on October 7, 2019. The Children’s Tumor Foundation is one of the Wireless Zone Foundation for Giving’s core charities—groups supported annually that are selected for their service of all Wireless Zone communities.

The Children’s Tumor Foundation is a leading organization that strives to revolutionize research in the field of neurofibromatosis (NF), which causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. Founded in 1978, the Children’s Tumor Foundation is the largest provider of NF research.

According to the foundation’s website, the mission of the Children’s Tumor Foundation is to “drive research, expand knowledge, and advance care for the NF community.”

“The Children’s Tumor Foundation family has done so much to bring awareness to children afflicted with neurofibromatosis. It’s a great organization that brings together research, treatment and care for those afflicted, and we’re happy to be able to donate to this very worthy cause,” said Dave Staszewski, Executive Vice President of Wireless Zone.

Through the support of its patrons and dedicated Wireless Zone franchisees, the Wireless Zone Foundation for Giving is able to aid various programs put on by the foundation including groundbreaking research in the field of childhood illness.

The Wireless Zone Foundation for Giving allows for franchisees to participate in other system wide events including the annual Backpack Giveaway to local schools. Franchisees collect funds throughout the year in order to purchase new backpacks stocked with necessary school supplies for children in need. In 2019, Wireless Zone’s third annual Backpack Giveaway gave out an estimated 70,000 backpacks to children in need all across the country.
