What is Kids For Wish Kids?

Kids For Wish Kids is a custom-tailored fundraising program managed by kids, for kids! Each year we partner with thousands of students, schools and youth groups across central and western North Carolina to help create more life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We empower kids with the opportunity to lead and make a significant impact in their school and community through leadership, volunteerism, community service and teamwork. Students learn the importance of giving back and see firsthand how their efforts can positively impact the lives of others.

Now more than ever, hope is essential! Wishes have proven physical and emotional benefits that can give kids the strength needed to fight against and even overcome a critical illness. Your support will bring Make-A-Wish Central and Western North Carolina one step closer to the goal of fulfilling the wish of every eligible child.

We are here to make it easy for you to make a difference. As a Kids For Wish Kids supporter, you will partner with Make-A-Wish Central and Western North Carolina and coordinate a fundraiser to help sponsor wishes for local wish kids.

Wishmakers On Campus

Wishmakers On Campus is designed as a hands-on, student driven service-learning program benefiting Make-A-Wish Central & Western North Carolina. The program empowers college organizations, student governments, athletic teams and Greek organizations with ideas, objectives and tools to run a successful fundraiser and bring hope and joy to local children. By planning fundraisers, hosting events and raising donations for Make-A-Wish, participants can help fund life-changing wishes for children fighting critical illnesses.
