This April, become a WishMaker
It started with a single wish on April 29, 1980, when 7-year-old Chris, struggling with leukemia, wanted to be a police officer for a day. Seven people answered the call, rallied the entire community, and granted a wish that lifted Chris up during his darkest days. Inspired by the impact the wish had on Chris, these original WishMakers vowed to do more—and a global movement was born.
Today, the work is far from done. We need the next generation of donors, volunteers, partners, and collaborators to lead the charge in granting more wishes. As long as children are facing devastating critical illnesses, they'll be counting on WishMakers like you to create the hope and strength they need to fight. Become a WishMaker by making a donation, hosting a lemonade stand, joining us for Walk for Wishes this summer, signing up to volunteer, or participating in any of the World Wish Month activations below.
