Celebrating 40 Years of Wishes

This year is the 40th Anniversary of Make-A-Wish® Massachusetts and Rhode Island!

Throughout this milestone year, we’ll celebrate our proud history and our bright future. We’ll reminisce about wishes granted over four decades and look forward to those that haven’t even been dreamed up yet. We’ll reflect on accomplishments and opportunities as we plan for growth. And together, we’ll continue to fulfill our mission of granting wishes for children with critical illnesses, making 2023 a year full of possibility and joy.
 

There are many ways to help make wishes come true. Read on to learn about opportunities and check back for updates.
