Make-A-Wish Foundation® Standardizes on MegaPath for Data Communications and Internet Access
COSTA MESA, CA, July 17, 2006 – MegaPath Inc., the leading provider of Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions and other managed IP services to businesses worldwide, announced that it is providing all data communications and Internet access for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, including all of its remote workers.
“MegaPath is one of our oldest technology partners and has been dedicated to our cause from the beginning,” said Jim Toy, Director of Information Technology for the foundation. “By supporting all of our Internet and data communications needs pro bono, MegaPath is allowing us to invest more in our mission, rather than spending money on the IT infrastructure required to support all of our staff.”

MegaPath’s superior performance and reliability ensures the highest levels of productivity throughout the organization.
“Part of any successful company’s mission should be giving back to the community, and MegaPath is proud to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation, along with other charitable organizations throughout the U.S.,” said Jim Cragg, President and Chief Operating Officer at MegaPath. “MegaPath provides organizations with the reliability and performance required to effectively operate a distributed business, and we are excited that the Make-A-Wish Foundation is allowing us to support their cause.”
