Fundraising Events
The Wilson Foundation is pleased to be the recipient of two annual "Point of Excellence"
luncheons hosted by Wilson Associates. These annual events are held in Dallas and in Los
Angeles, and were established by Wilson Associates to honor excellence in service to the
design industry. Each year, several vendors and service providers are selected to receive the
"Point of Excellence" award. Because the luncheon is underwritten by Wilson Associates, 100%
of the proceeds benefit The Wilson Foundation.

There are many ways you can support our efforts to bring help and hope to the children of South Africa. While we receive many generous offers to donate products, supplies and other items, the cost to ship these items to South Africa is often prohibitive. Therefore, we encourage monetary donations to help meet local needs.

"Giving back is part of the corporate culture at Wilson Associates. It’s who we are as a company. We believe that no matter the state of the economy, we have a responsibility to give back to others, and we will stay the course. It has been hard these past few years because our entire industry has felt the effects of the economic downturn, but just as we have maintained our commitment to the WF, I am also very grateful for all the vendors & service providers in our industry who have continued to support us through these challenging times."
— Trisha Wilson
