The Phoenix Group Launches Wish Foundation for Active Military

Local company sees prosperity in giving back despite weakened economy

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. and HOUSTON, Texas, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The
Phoenix Group today launched a non-profit foundation that grants wishes for
active duty Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen and their families. The
Foundation strives to relieve the burdens of family separation, re-integration
for deployed soldiers, hardship circumstances, and other means of assistance
not covered by existing military charities.

The Foundation is driven by an interactive website (www.wish4ourheroes.org)
allowing anyone to request a wish for active duty members of our Armed Forces.
The website allows 'wish granters' to view wishes and contribute donations.
Pictures and accounts of the granted wishes are posted online to allow
contributors to see the impact made in the lives of our nations' heroes. The
website also has apparel and merchandise available for purchase, and all sales
benefit the wish program. The Phoenix Group's for-profit companies will
contribute 10% of pretax earnings toward the Foundation, and will give
employees the option of contributing a percentage of their paychecks to the
cause. The Foundation will also rely on the generosity of other corporations
and individuals to grant as many wishes as possible. Many foundations focus
on assisting wounded soldiers and families of deceased soldiers, but Phoenix's
foundation will focus on providing assistance and rewarding our heroes who may
be experiencing other types of hardship.

"The Phoenix Group hires many former military soldiers into our various
companies, and we would like to give something back to our nation's heroes who
sacrifice so much to defend our great country," said Jeff Wells, President of
Phoenix's Wish For Our Heroes Foundation.

The Foundation is headquartered in Greenwood, IN, with a second office in
Houston, TX. It is dedicated in memory of 1SG Thomas G. Wells (1933-2009), a
Marine Corps veteran of the Korean and Vietnam wars, as well as all of our
active duty military heroes. To learn more, volunteer, or make a donation,
