What is the Make-A-Wish Foundation?
The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Born in 1980 when a group of caring people helped a young boy fulfill his dream of becoming a police officer, the Foundation is now the largest wish-granting charity in the world, with 67 chapters in the United States and its territories. With the help of generous donors and over 25,000 volunteers, the Make-A-Wish Foundation grants more than 12,600 wishes a year and has granted more than 153,000 wishes in the U.S. since inception.
