Greenville, SC – November 14, 2019 – The Hubbell Foundation, the charitable arm of Hubbell Incorporated, parent company of Greenville-based Hubbell Lighting and Columbia-based Hubbell Power Systems, was named Corporate Philanthropist of the Year by Make-A-Wish South Carolina.
During the Association of Fundraising Professionals South Carolina, Piedmont Chapter’s National Philanthropy Day annual banquet, Make-A-Wish South Carolina presented Hubbell with the award, noting the company has provided consistent charitable support above and beyond monetary contributions.

ABOUT MAKE-A-WISH
Make-A-Wish® creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We are on a quest to bring every eligible child’s wish to life, because a wish is an integral part of a child’s treatment journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. A wish is granted every 34 minutes, on average, somewhere in the U.S. and its territories. Together with a community of donors and volunteers, Make-A-Wish South Carolina granted 209 wishes last year. The chapter receives funding through private donations, individuals, companies and special events.
