Welcome! When a wish is granted for you or a family member, you become a part of a larger family, one that understands the trials and tribulations of childhood illness in a way no one else can. The Make-A-Wish Alumni Community is a supportive group of wish recipients and their families in your area.

By joining our alumni community, you can “Wish It Forward” by helping us foster a community of Make-A-Wish alumni, families, and staff who work together to support one another’s journeys and advance the goal of granting a wish for every eligible child. Our recipients and families are our best ambassadors – simply by sharing your story, you can help people see the real impact of a wish and help make more wishes come true.
