Corporate Sponsors

Our corporate sponsors help make wishes possible for local children with critical illnesses. 

Through innovative consumer-facing campaigns, cause marketing programs, generous financial contributions and mission-critical in-kind support, life-changing wishes are being granted right here in your community.

Make-A-Wish® Minnesota grants 250+ wishes annually, reaching every corner of our state. Unfortunately, there are still 300+ kids still waiting and the only thing standing in our way is funding. Your company’s support, no matter the amount, plays a crucial role in ensuring no child waits one unnecessary day to experience the life-changing power of a wish.
