Cricket Introduces Three Las Vegas Wish Kids To Jessica Simpson
LAS VEGAS – September 19, 2008 – Cricket Communications, Inc, a leading provider of unlimited wireless services, partnered with Make-A-Wish® Foundation of Southern Nevada to help three Wish Kids meet Jessica Simpson before the singer’s concert at the Pearl at the Palms on September 18.
Cricket was able to make Alexis, Ginana and Kaitlyn’s dream come true through their sponsorship of the Pearl at the Palms. The girls had a very special meeting with Simpson, one of their idols. Simpson took some time before her show to take photos with three of her biggest fans and sign autographs for each one.
“Cricket has been an amazing partner with us,” said Emily Williams, development associate for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Nevada. “They contacted us with this opportunity for some of our kids to meet Jessica Simpson and attend her concert. Community partners like Cricket help make a difficult job easier.”
“Nights like this really make all of our work so much fun,” said Jason Biado, area general manager for Cricket. “Being able to do events like this and see the smiles on these kids’ faces are exactly why Cricket partnered with the Palms.”
