Make-A-Wish Foundation honors York International

York International Corp. of Norman has been recognized by the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America for the company’s sponsorship through its Luxaire brand of products.

Doug Widenmann, senior marketing director for York Unitary Products Group, received the award during the Foundation’s annual Sponsor Recognition Program in Phoenix.

Luxaire recently announced the renewal of its three-year partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, first signed in November 2001. As a corporate sponsor, a portion of every sale of a Luxaire product is donated toward the company’s minimum annual contribution of $250,000. In addition, dollars raised by the company’s combined sales efforts support local Make-A-Wish chapters. Luxaire also encourages homeowners to participate in the program by offering them the opportunity to donate all or a portion of their rebates during spring and fall promotions to their local Make-A-Wish chapter. Luxaire has raised nearly $1 million for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Luxaire is a brand of heating, ventilating and air-conditioning equipment marketed by the Unitary Products Group of York International.
