Acxiom employees pose with Make-A-Wish child Rachel after announcing that they'd granted her wish for a keyboard and music recording equipment.

We love it when local businesses do cool stuff like this for young people. So we're sharing this with you.

Acxiom employees came together to raise funds to make a very special child's wish come true. 

On Aug. 31, Rachel got a keyboard and recording equipment thanks to Acxiom and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Mid-South. Rachel and her mother visited Acxiom under the premise that Rachel was going to speak to employees about donating to the Foundation. But when the Acxiom President/CEO introduced her to the employees, the audience parted for Rachel to see her wish waiting before her.

Children deserve the opportunity to make music, but after everything Rachel's been through, we're so happy her wish was granted.
