Luxaire Sponsors
Second Annual Ronnie Gaspard Memorial Clay Shoot.
The Luxaire® brand of residential
and light-commercial heating, ventilation and air-conditioning
(HVAC) equipment sponsored the Second Annual Ronnie Gaspard
Memorial Clay Shoot in Maurice, La. The all-day event raised
more than $31,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of the Texas
Gulf Coast & Louisiana, including a $15,000 donation from
Luxaire.
Profits from the event will help
grant wishes to three deserving children with life threatening
medical conditions. They, along with their families and four
employees of Luxaire distributor Solar Supply, Inc., Lake Charles,
La., joined the more than 100 people who attended the event. The
Solar Supply employees participated in the morning flight of the
clay shoot.

“I’ve been involved
with the Make-A-Wish Foundation for eight years,” said Paul
Brame, manager of Solar Supply. Brame attended the event as part
of a team that participated in the clay shoot. “The clay shoot
was a lot of fun and was a nice reminder of our support of these
kids. I wish I could do more.” Luxaire’s sponsorship of the
Make-A-Wish Foundation began in 2001 and has resulted in
donations totaling more than $2 million.
The most recent
agreement between the two organizations extends the relationship
into 2011 and commits $675,000 in Luxaire contributions over three
years to the national program. “Luxaire dealers and distributors are
proud to join Make-A-Wish® chapters in fundraising activities,” said
Mary Mocarski, Luxaire brand manager. “Events like the Ronnie
Gaspard Memorial Clay Shoot not only benefit deserving children and
their families, but also enrich the special connection that Luxaire
and the Make-A-Wish Foundation share.”
