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.
