Wish For Our Heroes Grants $25,000 in Military Wishes in First 90 Days

New Foundation 'Helps Heroes Battle Hardships'
HOUSTON, Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Phoenix Wish For Our Heroes, a
non-profit organization that grants wishes for active military, announced
today that it has granted nearly 20 wishes totaling more than $25,000, since
its inception in November, 2009.

The Foundation strives to relieve hardships not covered by existing military
charities. Since the Foundation launched in November, it has aided families
in all branches of the Armed Forces, spanning multiple states, and venturing
outside the Continental U.S. The total value of the wishes exceeds $25,000,
and total donations are approaching $30,000 - quite an accomplishment for a
young Foundation, with minimal financial backing.

"We are thrilled we have granted 18 wishes to date, but our goal for 2010 is
to grant 15 wishes per month," said Gary Sherman, Vice President of W4OH, and
President of The Phoenix Group.

The Phoenix Group and its subsidiary, Phoenix of Texas, a logistics and
supply-chain management company in Houston, helped launch the organization by
contributing 10% of pretax earnings, and giving employees the option of
donating a percentage of their paychecks to the cause.

"We really need help from corporations to take Wish For Our Heroes to the next
level," explained President, Jeff Wells. "We are specifically reaching out
to Texas businesses, as the majority of our wishes and donations have come
from the Lone Star state, and there is a lot of support for our military
here. Corporate support is mutually beneficial because it opens doors to
larger donations and payroll contributions, and subsequently improves employee
morale, knowing their employer supports a worthy cause. Our for-profit
businesses recognized helping our nation's heroes was the right thing to do,
so we hope other corporations will jump on board."

Over 80 celebrities have supported Wish For Our Heroes by donating signed
memorabilia items for auction, and 100% of proceeds go directly to granting
wishes, as do all individual contributions. To bid on auction items, make
