The Adopt-A-Wish program offers you or company, school or community group the opportunity to invest in an experience that can alter the course of a child's life forever. 

Experience the joy of helping others during their time of greatest need by becoming a part of the Make-A-Wish East Tennessee Adopt-A-Wish Program. 

This program provides a unique opportunity to make an immediate, direct and substantial impact on the life of a child. The financial investment provided by our donors ensures that we have the funds available to grant the wishes of every eligible child.  

From exposing children to the power of philanthropy to remembering a loved one, wishes are a unique opportunity to make a difference in a child's life.  

After making your gift to Make-A-Wish East Tennessee, we will dedicate a specific wish to you, your organization, group or company. You will receive the child’s wish story and photo to demonstrate how your generosity helped a wish come true.  

Adopt-A-Wish donations start at $6,500, which is based on the average cost of a wish of $10,000 in East Tennessee.  

Your gift of $6,500 grants the wish of a child to visit a special theme park, bring a new puppy into their family, have a complete room make-over, or enjoy a shopping spree experience! 

Your gift of $10,000 can take a child to a land far-away! Wish children choose to swim with the dolphins in Hawaii, ski in Colorado, or to swim in their backyard pool. 

Wishes are like children – each one is unique. This means the cost to fund a wish can vary depending on the nature of the child’s wish and its geographical location.  

Behind every child’s wish, there are special individuals, corporations, student organizations and foundations that make it possible. Give a child the priceless gift of love, laughter and treasured memories by sponsoring his or her wish.
