Jadex Inc. helps make a wish come true for a special ten-year-old

On March 13, 2023, the associates of Jadex Inc. (Jadex) were proud to help a local ten-year-old girl, Stephany, celebrate the granting of her wish for a trip to Walt Disney World® by the Make-A-Wish® Foundation. The company hosted a Disney World® sendoff party for Stephany and her family at their corporate offices in Greer, SC, complete with food, fun activities, and a few familiar characters.

From the balloon-decorated walkway to the princess-themed cupcakes, the company created a fun and magical experience for Stephany. In addition to donating their time and creativity, the Jadex® team donated nearly $1,000 in gifts.

Brian Searfoss, President of two Jadex® operating companies (LifeMade Products LLC and Shakespeare Company LLC) and a Make-A-Wish® South Carolina Board Member, said of the event, “Celebrating with Stephany was a true honor for us. Our associates are some of the most giving individuals I have ever met, and they went above and beyond to make this wish reveal extra special for her and her family.”

According to their most recent ESG Report, Jadex® "encourages and supports its associates to engage with their communities through volunteerism, philanthropy, and other means of outreach." In 2021, the company donated over $100,000 to over 60 charitable organizations, including Make-A-Wish®.

Their Shakespeare business is a long-standing partner of Make-A-Wish® South Carolina. Over the past 23 years, they have donated more than $500,000 to help grant more than 70 wishes to children like Stephany.
