Peraton announced today the success of its partnership with Make-A-Wish® Mid-Atlantic in support of Touchdown for Wishes, an initiative that contributed money to support special experiences for children of military families.
As part of Touchdown for Wishes, Peraton donated $500 for every Washington Commanders touchdown scored during the 2025 regular season. With 41 touchdowns, the campaign generated a total of $20,500 to support Make-A-Wish® Mid-Atlantic’s Operation Dream Maker fund, delivering life-changing wishes to children of military families.
“At Peraton, our positive impact extends beyond our meaningful, mission-critical work across federal, state, and local governments,” said Peraton Chairman and CEO Steve Schorer. “It includes demonstrations of our support, appreciation, and admiration for America’s brave servicemembers and veterans, and the families who mean so much to them.”
“Our partnership with Touchdown for Wishes allows us to fulfill the childhood dreams of military kids facing grave medical challenges. We are incredibly humbled to offer these families relief and hope in difficult circumstances. On behalf of all our employees—25 percent of whom are veterans or reservists—we are honored to support such a worthy cause,” said Schorer.
“Peraton’s commitment to the Operation Dream Maker fund is instrumental in helping us grant life-changing wishes to children when they need it most,” said Lesli Creedon, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish® Mid-Atlantic. “Through the Touchdown for Wishes campaign, Peraton is directly advancing our mission of giving hope and joy to these kids and their families.”
