What could be more fun than a Mouse Race to help children’s dreams come true?
More than 250 employees, clients and friends of Murphy Company gathered Feb. 3 at Cheer Legendz in Chesterfield Valley to cheer on real mice as they competed in speed races – all to benefit the children of Make-a-Wish® Missouri. Saturday’s event raised over $36,000, with Murphy Company donating $15,000 to the pot to help dreams come true for children with life-threatening illnesses.
Party-goers donned mouse ears, whiskers and other fun garb, and brought in food. Beverages were provided. The popular Plinko!, a 50/50 and other games completed the night.
This was the third annual Murphy Mouse Race, with more than $84,000 raised in the three years of events by the mechanical engineering and contracting firm. With this support, Make-A-Wish® was able to grant 10 wishes over the past two years – with more dreams coming true with the additional $36,000 raised last Saturday.
