Rome, NY — December 3, 2025 – Uvanni Motors, a family-owned dealership is honored to announce the donation of a generous check to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, presented in support of our shared commitment to uplifting children and families navigating critical illnesses.
The presentation took place on Monday, December 1st at Uvanni Motors in Rome, where representatives from both organizations gathered to celebrate the impact of community partnership. Magician, Shaun Robinson, joined to reveal (with his magic) that the $4,000 donation would actually be $8,000 with the generous pledge from an anonymous donor. The funds will directly support programs that enhance the lives of children and provide meaningful experiences for families during challenging times.
“We are deeply grateful for the Make-A-Wish Foundation’s mission and feel honored to support and strengthens their efforts,” said Kelley Uvanni. “What an absolutely stunning surprise to have a secret donor pledge to double our donation!”
The Make-A-Wish Foundation has long been recognized for granting life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses, and this donation reflects their broader commitment to improving the well-being of young people beyond individual wish experiences.
