Caring Causes - IT'SUGAR's Charity Lollipop Program

 IT'SUGAR, one of the largest specialty candy retailers in North America, announced at a ceremonial check presentation that it has raised over $1.12 million for Make-A-Wish through its Charity Lollipop Program. IT'SUGAR began selling its rainbow star-shaped Wish Pops in 2019 with the goal of reaching $1 million in donations.
