About Make-A-Wish®
Make-A-Wish®
creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
We seek to bring every eligible child's wish to life because a wish
is an integral part of a child's treatment journey. Research shows
children who have wishes granted can build the physical and
emotional strength they need to fight their illness. Headquartered
in Phoenix, Arizona, Make-A-Wish
is the world's leading children's wish-granting organization,
serving children in every community in the United States and in more than 50
countries worldwide. Together, generous donors, supporters, staff
and nearly 40,000 volunteers across the U.S., grant a wish every 34
minutes, on average, somewhere in the country. Since 1980,
Make-A-Wish has granted more than 315,000 wishes to children in the
U.S. and its territories; more than 15,600 in 2018 alone. For more
