At Millcraft, we believe that the power of giving back is one of the most impactful ways we can make a difference in the communities we serve. This year, we had the incredible honor of supporting Olivia, a courageous 11-year-old battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Olivia’s positivity and resilience are nothing short of inspiring, and her heartfelt wish to experience the beauty of Hawaii came true earlier this year thanks to Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.
Olivia’s dream to visit Hawaii included an adventurous goal: swimming with sharks. Thanks to Make-A-Wish, Olivia and her family had the chance to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime trip, filled with unforgettable experiences. At Millcraft, we were proud to play a small role in making her journey extra special.
As part of our commitment to giving back, Millcraft’s Fort Wayne team hosted Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, presenting a check to support their mission. Make-A-Wish empowers children battling critical illnesses by creating life-changing moments filled with hope, joy, and strength.
Celebrating Olivia with a Custom Cornhole Board
In addition to supporting Olivia through Make-A-Wish, we created a custom-printed cornhole board inspired by her favorite K-Pop group, Stray Kids. Millcraft Account Manager Luke Jarzynka collaborated with Excell Color Graphics to design and produce the board, ensuring it reflected Olivia’s vibrant personality and passion for music.
Speaking about the project, Luke shared, “This was such a rewarding project to be part of. We wanted to create something unique and personal for Olivia, and seeing her excitement when she received the board was incredible. It’s a reminder of how impactful small gestures can be.”
Seeing Olivia’s excitement reminded us why programs like Buy & Give are so important. It’s not just about the donations—it’s about making a direct impact in the lives of those who need it most, bringing joy and connection to families like Olivia’s.
10 Years of Buy & Give
This year, Millcraft celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Buy & Give program, a charitable initiative that allows our customers to directly contribute to their local communities. For every carton of Buy & Give paper sold, $1 is donated to local charities, including Make-A-Wish. Since its inception, Buy & Give has raised over $900,000, supporting organizations that make a difference in the lives of children, families, and communities across the country.
As we celebrate this milestone year, we are thrilled to announce that Domtar, our valued partner, has pledged to match all Buy & Give contributions in 2025. This means every carton of paper sold will result in $2 donated to local charities. With this incredible partnership, we’re doubling our impact and continuing to build on the legacy of generosity that Buy & Give represents.
Empowering Communities, One Wish at a Time
Programs like Buy & Give are more than charitable initiatives—they are a testament to the shared values of Millcraft and our customers. By choosing Buy & Give products, our customers have helped grant wishes, support critical services, and create lasting change in their communities. Olivia’s story is a beautiful reminder of the lives we touch through these efforts.
As we look ahead to the future, we remain committed to empowering our communities and making a difference in the lives of those who need it most. Thank you to our customers, our team, and our partners like Domtar for making this journey possible. Together, we are creating brighter futures, one wish at a time.
