Purposeful outreach to medical professionals statewide has allowed us to ensure wishes are being granted across the state, regardless of socioeconomic status. We continue to work with trusted medical professionals, volunteers and donors statewide to ensure we are reaching every eligible child and to ensure language, socioeconomic status and any other challenges are never a barrier to a child receiving their one true wish.

At Make-A-Wish, we are more than a great place to work — our work is life-changing. We are an inclusive and diverse group of people who, through a mosaic of backgrounds, thought and experiences, are united in purposeful work. We are fueled and guided by our values — values that are represented in the inspired people we work with and the life-changing work we do, every day.
