CountryMark’s Fueling Wishes fundraiser returns this May in Goshen, Indiana to raise money for an Elkhart County, Indiana child battling a life-threatening illness. Throughout May, CountryMark is donating 20 cents for every gallon of fuel sold at the three CountryMark stations in Goshen to fund the wish of Karsan, an 11-year-old Elkhart County child.
“CountryMark is excited to partner with Indiana Wish and Keystone Cooperative to continue Fueling Wishes in 2025”, said Matt Makinson, Vice President of Supply & Marketing at CountryMark. “We hope the community will make an effort to visit these stations throughout the month of May and support this worthwhile cause.”
Fuel purchases made from any pump at all three CountryMark stations in Goshen will contribute towards funding Karsan’s wish. Proceeds raised from the Fueling Wishes fundraiser will be donated to Indiana Wish, a local nonprofit dedicated to granting wishes for Hoosier children diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. This marks the fourth year of CountryMark’s partnership with Indiana Wish for the Fueling Wishes fundraiser.
“At Indiana Wish, we believe in the power of hope and the magic of childhood. Karsan’s wish to visit Give Kids the World Village and Walt Disney World is more than just a trip—it’s a chance for him and his family to step away from treatments and hospital visits and simply enjoy being together,” said J’Lynn Edwards, Executive Director with Indiana Wish. “We’re honored that CountryMark is willing to help Indiana Wish play a part in creating lifelong memories for such a brave and joyful child.”
Indiana Wish is a nonprofit organization dedicated to granting wishes to Indiana children between the ages of 3-18 who are battling life-threatening illnesses. Since its founding in 1984, the organization has granted over 3,500 wishes providing hope, strength, and joy to children and their families during challenging times. Learn more at IndianaWish.org.
Indiana Wish will fulfill Karsan’s wish of traveling with his family to Orlando, Florida to visit Give Kids the World and Walt Disney World.
