Wealth Masters International (WMI) loves making dreams come true--even beyond its unique financial education & investment mentoring. It also reaches into its members' communities to offer support & encouragement.

"Our biggest desire is to help as many people as possible," says WMI Senior Vice President of Operations Mary Dee. "Our slogan is 'changing the world one person at a time' and we mean it. We have always said that charity starts at home, & we've always supported our members with local causes."

Early on, Wealth Masters became involved with the Hurricane Relief Fund for those affected by Hurricane Katrina. It also supported WMI members who were affected by the California fires in 2007. Locally, WMI has been involved with the children in its headquarters city of SugarLand, Texas, by working with the local food bank while at the same time donating food, clothes & money.

In 2008, Wealth Masters sponsored a Little League baseball team, helping update the league's baseball field. "The monies we donate go to help kids in the community who cannot afford to play on their own or to those with debilitating diseases," says Wealth Masters' CEO Kip Herriage.

Now WMI is expanding its efforts to even more causes. It sponsored participants at the T-Mac Approach Basketball Camp run by Houston Rockets' starting guard Tracy McGrady. The camp usually accepts only 150 boys & girls ages 8 to 13 into the weeklong event that builds basketball skills, helps kids learn courtesy & teamwork, & provides role models in both sports & life. But so many kids applied in 2008 that the camp expanded into an extra gymnasium & accepted more than 200 children, primarily from low-income families. WMI sponsored seven kids, choosing them from a contest that required educational & sports abilities.

In addition WMI through a ten thousand dollar donation to the camp, has been recognized as a community leadership sponsor for the 2008 basketball camp. Tracy Mcgrady was thriled with the participation this year."I am honored to have WMI as our Community Leadership Sponsor. My basketball camp is important to me, & I appreciate sponsors like you who support our efforts. It is not just basketball that the kids are learning at our camp, but they leave with an appreciation of good sportmanship, & the knowledge that with dedication & commitment You can accomplish your goals."

"In our group we sponsored, the kids had some great life experiences," Mary Dee says. "They were all very starstruck with Kip. As our CEO he is famous in our group. It was a big deal to them to stay at his house, & he took them out almost every single night. For some of them, it was the first time away from home without their parents or the first time on an airplane. And they had to learn to get along with the other kids & live in a completely different environment for a week."

Make-a-Wish Foundation

But WMI wanted to extend its good efforts beyound Houston, so recently it became a national donor to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. The foundation has granted wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions since 1980. Not only will WMI make donations to help grant the wishes of sick children, but it will also exponentially expand its influence through its members.

"We want to get our consultants involved," Mary says. "We're everywhere, so we can get everyone involved anywhere there's a Make-A-Wish Foundation. We can do things like give Christmas gifts or locally select a child to help. And through our great network of partners, we can help get wishes granted, even beyond what we do ourselves."

WMI announced its Make-A-Wish Sponsoship just before its M2 conference in July. With its addition to the WMI charities, the companies' charitable influence is now nationwide.
