It Started with One Wish

On April 29, 1980, seven-year-old Chris, battling leukemia, wished to be a police officer for a day. Six compassionate individuals answered the call, rallied the entire community, and granted a wish that lifted Chris during his darkest days. These original WishMakers were so moved by the power of a wish that they vowed to do more. From that single wish, a global movement was born.

Make-A-Wish Idaho was founded in 1986, and since that time, the organization has granted over 2,100 life-changing wishes. This month, we're celebrating the wishes we've granted and working tirelessly to grant the wishes that are waiting. Find out how you can help through our microsite.
