Community fundraisers are critical to making wishes come true. And the only limit is your imagination! 

Our community has held polar plunges, sports tournaments, workout or cooking classes, fashion shows, happy hours and more – the possibilities are endless. If you’ve got a fundraising idea, let us help you make it happen!   

We make it as easy as possible using our very own online fundraising platform – Wish Your Way. Each fundraiser receives a customized webpage to share with their personal network to collect donations to help grant wishes. It’s easy, convenient and so impactful.

Kids for Wish Kids

By kids, for kids. Kids for Wish Kids is our school program that engages kids in hands-on fundraising and service activities that help transform lives in our community.   

While teachers often advise, the program puts students in charge - choosing and managing their own project from start to finish. Kids develop leadership skills, build self-esteem and learn about teamwork, all while working towards a final goal - making a difference in the life of a child who is fighting overwhelming odds.   

There are so many ways to get your school involved. Get our guide to learn more and get ideas!

Fundraise at Work

Workplace fundraising campaigns allow offices to be creative and make a difference for kids and families in the community. They also benefit your business by: 

  • Allowing workers to support wishes and to see the direct impact of their donations on families like theirs. 

  • Helping employees work as a team to reach a goal and make a difference in our community. 

  • Engaging employees in a cause to build long-term commitment and pride in their company.

Your office can come together to host Jeans for Wishes casual days, bake sales, or silent auctions. You can even challenge other offices or departments to see who can raise the most and make wishes come true.
