Every year, the current ArcBest Leadership Academy class selects a philanthropy to support. The Class of 2023 chose Make-A-Wish America and achieved their goal of granting five wishes in states where each of our major brands is located: Arkansas, Ohio, Illinois, Texas, and Missouri, raising over $50,000. Last week, we had the honor of hosting MK at our Fort Smith headquarters and fulfilling her dream of traveling to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. At ArcBest, we believe our reach goes beyond our communities – giving back is a core part of who we are. Watch this heartwarming moment as MK's wish is granted! 💫
