"Giving back to important children's causes has always been a part of VTech's culture," said Matt Ramage, senior vice president, VTech Communications, Inc. "We make products that help people share important moments in their lives, and now we have the opportunity to help create important moments in the lives of others and share the power of a wish®."

"VTech's support means a great deal to the children we serve," said David A. Williams, Make-A-Wish America president and chief executive officer.
