Bio
Andrea York
I've had the honor of collaborating with Peg Wheble on multiple Make-A-Wish events over a 4+ period during my time as Vice President/Store Manager of Macy's in Springfield and Holyoke MA. Peg always brought endless, high-level organization and energy to the various fundraising projects and Wishes she worked on granting in tandem with Macy's! It was an honor to work with her to aid in the Make-A-Wish mission which brought so much joy to all of the recipients and their families. Peg is perfect in her role. It takes a tremendous amount of coordination and networking skills to pull off the surprises and celebrations she produces. Peg executes them all with empathy, dignity, precision and with great success. It doesn't stop there. Peg garners loyal support from corporate and private partners by educating them on the MAW mission and by leading and brainstorming with her team to develop creative, exciting events and promotions. On a personal note, Peg is a absolute delight to work with. She is never without a smile and a kind word. I am happy that I've had the opportunity to work with and get to know her personally over the years.
