All of the proceeds from the auction will be going to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The foundation grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions to inspire them and give them strength as they cope with their challenges. “Both PEZ and the Make-A-Wish Foundation have been bringing smiles to families for generations and PEZ is pleased to be able to contribute to Make-A-Wish and ensure more children’s dreams come true.”, said Christian Jegen, President & CEO of PEZ Candy, Inc.
In 2011, PEZ auctioned an exclusive set of royal dispensers on eBay for charity to celebrate the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton. The great success of that auction prompted PEZ to launch a similar campaign for the Prince’s brother.
