GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Bergstrom Automotive is celebrating a major milestone after raising a record-setting amount for Make-A-Wish Wisconsin during its annual JUNE 3500 campaign.
In June, team members across Bergstrom Automotive partnered with Make-A-Wish Wisconsin to help grant wishes for local children battling critical illnesses. With the support of guests, business partners, and communities across the state, this year’s campaign raised $375,000 — the most in its history.

The funds will help bring hope, strength, and joy to hundreds of children and their families through the power of a wish. Bergstrom’s total contributions to Make-A-Wish Wisconsin now approach $3.75 million through the long-standing partnership.
“Thank you to our guests, business partners, team, and the wonderful people in our communities for generously supporting Make-A-Wish through our JUNE 3500 campaign,” said John F. Bergstrom, executive chairman of Bergstrom Automotive. “Giving Wish Kids something to look forward to creates a life-changing impact and is transformational for the kids, their families, and our entire community.”
Throughout June, Bergstrom team members organized a variety of fundraisers. All dealerships donated $5 for every test drive and $50 for every vehicle purchased or leased. An additional $5 was donated for every new follower on Bergstrom’s social media platforms.

A check presentation and celebration were held Wednesday to recognize the hard work and community support that made this year’s campaign such a success.
