Kids for Wish Kids

Kids For Wish Kids is a unique program managed by kids, for kids. 

Inspiring kids, just like you, can have an impact right in our community. The Kids For Wish Kids program engages students, schools, and youth organizations in philanthropy and service activities in partnership with Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area. Join the league of young trailblazers making waves in philanthropy and service activities, hand in hand with Make-A-Wish.

Kids For Wish Kids is a program that sparks a passion for community service, leadership, volunteerism, and teamwork among students, schools, and youth organizations. It's a call to action that builds team spirit and offers students hands-on experience in fundraising, all dedicated to creating life-changing wishes for courageous kids battling critical illnesses.

Meet the dynamic duo, Eddie and Joey, on a mission during their Strikeouts for Wish Kids fundraiser for Make-A-Wish Greater Bay Area. These young leaders exemplify the spirit of Kids For Wish Kids, taking the lead to brainstorm ideas, craft action plans, and manage every detail from start to finish. Kids For Wish Kids puts kids and teens in charge, encouraging them to showcase their leadership skills.

Kids For Wish Kids empowers young minds to get creative, turning fundraising into a fun and engaging experience. Whether it's coordinating a sports tournament, organizing a holiday party, hosting a dance or trivia night, or even planning a bowl-a-thon or walk-a-thon – the possibilities are endless!

Take the lead in crafting unforgettable experiences. Organize a bake sale, host a car wash, or spread joy with Make-A-Wish® Holiday Cards. Kids For Wish Kids allows students to infuse their fundraising efforts into existing school events, making it a seamless integration into activities like spirit week or field day.

To ensure your success, we have lots of great resources to share, including our online resource toolkit, samples from other schools, and more!
