Jankovich is close personal friends with a wish family whose daughter was diagnosed with leukemia and, in his words, saw “how Make-A-Wish was uniquely able to turn so much sadness into immense happiness, not just for the wish family, but for a global network of friends and family. There was an outpouring of love and community that can be ascribed directly to Make-A-Wish.”

“We are thrilled to have Thomas join our team,” exclaims Make-A-Wish® Connecticut President and CEO Pam Keough. “As an innovator, digital product developer, marketer and business builder who loves to make things happen, we can’t wait to be the benefactors of his knowledge and enthusiasm!”
