As the president of Legend Advisory Corporation, Michael Quiel has managed investment portfolios, formed corporations, and put together over $200 million in equity and debt financing for clients. Previously, he owned two registered broker-dealerships in Arizona. A philanthropist, Michael Quielsupports the work of various charitable organizations, including the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation started with a seven-year-old boy named Chris, who had been diagnosed with leukemia but wanted to be a police officer when he grew up more than anything.

When people in the community helped him to receive his wish, they launched what became the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Now the foundation continues to serve children with life-threatening medical conditions such as cancer by giving them the opportunity to see their greatest wishes come true.

Individuals can support the Make-A-Wish Foundation through their own fundraising efforts. The foundation supplies interested parties with the resources to create an online fundraising page, which can honor a loved one or coincide with a particular event. Once people start a campaign, they can share the page via social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. For more information or to launch an online fundraiser, visit www.wish.org.
