Minnesota’s KARE covers Winnebago’s new partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Nothing says bonding like an old-fashioned family road trip. Being packed into a vehicle with your family for hours on end might sound uncomfortable to some, but for others it’s a travel dream the Make-A-Wish Foundation wants to make come true.
The nonprofit partnered with Eden Prairie, Minn.-based Winnebago Industries to create outdoor adventures.
“Whether a child is really interested in getting outdoors to hike or getting outdoors to bike or just explore a national park, we know that we can help create that memorable, just really life-changing experience,” said Katy Friesz, vice president of corporate responsibility at Winnebago Industries.
Right now, Make-A-Wish has more than 500 camping wishes in its pipeline.
Winnebago Industries is sending out its fleet of Grand Design RVs to make those wishes happen.
“I personally have traveled with my family in RVs, and the little moments that you have together outside in nature, just are indescribable,” said Friesz. “That feeling that experience is something that we really want to share.”
