"We grant the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy."

Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening illnesses through its wish-granting work. The Foundation's mission reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors, sponsors, and entire communities.
