For 40 years, Make-A-Wish® Hudson Valley has been transforming lives through hope, resilience, and the power of a wish. Since receiving our charter in 1986, we’ve granted more than 3,500 wishes for children with critical illnesses across the Hudson Valley - each one made possible by the extraordinary people who stand behind our mission. From our humble beginnings in a small office above Danny’s Cheese Shop in Mt. Kisco to our home at the Wish House in Tarrytown, our chapter has grown because of a community that believes in creating joy when it’s needed most.

As we celebrate this milestone year, we’re proud to highlight the stories of wish alumni, donors, volunteers, and supporters who have shaped our past and continue to inspire our future. And we invite you to be part of the next chapter - whether by volunteering your time, hosting a 40th anniversary celebration, or exploring other meaningful ways to get involved and help bring even more wishes to life. This is your one-stop destination for everyone who believes in the power of a wish.
