Protank of Olive Branch Grants Dream for Olivia
Protank located in Olive Branch, MS asked how can they make a child’s Dream Come True.
Olivia M, a 6 year old from Germantown, TN, diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, had just spent her 6th birthday in Orlando at Disney World as her special dream. However, her dream was in need of a sponsor. Without hesitation, Brendon Plumpton, President of Protank, offered to do just that. On December 23, 2021, some Dream Factory volunteers visited Protank to say thank you and present Brendon and his TEAM with a plaque of gratitude.
Thank you Protank for your generosity and choosing the Dream Factory to support!
