Our Approach
Our Mission
"Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses."
A wish experience can be a game-changer for a child with a critical illness. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments.
This one belief guides us in everything we do at Make-A-Wish®. It inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve. It compels us to be creative in exceeding the expectations of every wish kid. It drives us to make our donated resources go as far as possible.
Most of all, it's the founding principle of our vision to grant the wish of every eligible child.
