MAKE-A-WISH^® FOUNDATION

The Make-A-Wish mission is granting the wishes of children who’ve been diagnosed with critical illnesses in an effort to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

Based on the 2011 Wish Impact Study, a combined 89% of the doctors, nurses and health professionals surveyed said they believe wish experiences can influence a wish kid’s physical health. In addition, 99% of parents reported that the wish experience gave their children increased feelings of happiness and 96% said that the wish strengthened their families.

A wish is more than a nice thing—wishes are catalysts that can lead to renewed strength and hope in children battling critical illness. Each wish has the power to replace fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants a life-changing wish every 34 minutes.
