Champions of Hope

A Giving Society for our Corporate Partners

Champions of Hope is our giving society for corporate donors who invest in our wish granting annually at the $10,000 level and above.*

The support of philanthropic businesses and their employees is vital to our mission of creating life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses throughout Northern California. As a Make-A-Wish Champion of Hope, your annual commitment helps to make every wish come true, giving children with critical illnesses experiences of hope and joy when they need them the most.

No matter the circumstances, every child deserves a childhood. Research shows that children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. These life-changing wishes wouldn't happen without the support of partners like you. With your organization's investment, Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area is committed to ensuring that no child waits a day longer than necessary to experience the hope and joy that a wish brings.

*Champions of Hope member levels and benefits are based on unrestricted cash donations that are not affiliated with events or other campaigns.

If you are interested in becoming a member of this select group of philanthropic businesses who help us innovate rapidly to grant wishes in new ways now and into the future, please contact Anne Muldoon at [email protected].

There are few experiences more powerful than making a wish come true. Together, we can be a light of hope for today—and tomorrow.
