Make-A-Wish North Texas Celebrates Facility Sustainability Upgrades, Thanks to Green Mountain Energy Sun Club Grant

On Wednesday, October 19, Council Member Guillermo Quintanilla, Deputy City Manager John Crawford, and Economic Development & Tourism Director Orlando Compos joined the team at Make-A-Wish North Texas and a wish recipient to celebrate a sustainability grant from Green Mountain Energy Sun Club. The funds have allowed Make-A-Wish to install a new energy management system in its building at 16803 Dallas Parkway that automatically adjusts the lights and room temperature throughout the day to reduce energy consumption. The monetary savings achieved by this system upgrade will allow Make-A-Wish to “power up” more wishes for children facing critical illnesses across the 161 counties the organization serves throughout North Texas. Green Mountain Energy Sun Club provides grants to nonprofits for projects that focus on renewable energy, energy efficiency, resource conservation, and environmental stewardship.
