Make-A-Wish Metro New York Women's Council 

Make-A-Wish Metro New York Women's Council

The Women’s Council is comprised of wish granters, wish moms and professional women who are dedicated to helping Make-A-Wish Metro New York and Western New York achieve its mission of creating life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Women’s Council members utilize their talents and leadership skills to raise awareness of and support for Make-A-Wish. Their contribution of time, resources and funds makes an immediate and substantial impact on the lives of children and their families.

There are many ways to accomplish that goal:

  • Promoting Make-A-Wish to our networks and communities
  • Providing specific volunteer assistance with granting wishes
  • Organizing and attending annual fundraising events
  • Providing individual financial support
