The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central Illinois is $20,000 richer thanks to a donation from the O'Brien Automotive Team.

The money will be used to grant wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses. The average cost of each wish is $6,000.

“We are often reminded that life is fragile and each moment should be relished and enjoyed,” says Joseph D. O'Brien Jr., president and CEO of the 25-franchise dealership group. “We have been blessed in central Illinois by the support of the community. It is part of our mission to give back to the community.”

The O'Brien group, based in Peoria, ILL, also sponsors the LPGA Charity Classic that's raised more than $2.5 million in 10 years to fight breast cancer.
