Kids For Wish Kids^®

Your Passion Can Transform Lives  

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

Inspiring kids, just like you, can have an impact in 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. The program encourages community service, leadership, volunteerism and teamwork. It builds team spirit and gives students hands-on experience fundraising to help create life-changing wishes for kids fighting critical illnesses. 

Kids For Wish Kids puts kids in charge. They take the lead to brainstorm fundraising ideas, create action plans and manage everything from start to finish. Students can even combine their efforts for existing school events, such as spirit week or field day.   

With more than 100 schools and children's groups in Illinois participating annually, Kids For Wish Kids programs have proven to be very beneficial not only for wish children, but students, schools, and entire communities. Connect with Make-A-Wish today to get started.
