Tractor Supply Company, the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, and Make-A-Wish Middle Tennessee announced today the completion of their 25th collaborative wish reveal, coinciding with the beginning of the nonprofit’s 25th anniversary year.

Passionate about art, Olivia has dreamed of having her own space to create, and Tractor Supply and the Lewisburg community came together to bring this wish to life. Tractor Supply donated a backyard structure to serve as the canvas for Olivia’s art barn, while the company’s creative department contributed an array of customized art supplies and materials. Vendors including Backyard Products also offered their time and resources to assemble the structure, ensuring it would be ready for the day of the reveal.

“This surprise for Olivia is a special start to a milestone year for our chapter,” said Beth Torres, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish of Middle Tennessee. “We are grateful for the support of partners like Tractor Supply who have made wishes like this possible for the last 25 years and look forward to working together for many years to come.”

This established partnership with Make-A-Wish of Middle Tennessee has made an impact throughout the region and beyond. In addition to Olivia’s art barn, Tractor Supply has supported a variety of other unique wishes, all with a tie to the rural lifestyle and “Life Out Here,” including:

  • A miniature Highland cow for Brylee, a 15-year-old cancer survivor in Spring Hill, Tennessee
  • A chicken flock and coop for Isaiah, a 3-year-old battling cystic fibrosis in Shelby, North Carolina
  • A miniature dachshund for Shirley, an 18-year-old liver transplant patient in Hendersonville, Tennessee

For each of these wishes, Tractor Supply and Make-A-Wish have collaborated to ideate, plan and execute a surprise to bring joy to the child’s life amidst a difficult time for them and their family.

“It’s a privilege to partner with Make-A-Wish of Middle Tennessee to help make the wishes of brave children like Olivia a reality,” said Marti Skold-Jordan, executive director of the Tractor Supply Foundation. “Each wish we support reflects our commitment to uplifting the communities Tractor Supply serves, and we are honored to be a part of these incredible stories.”
