Our goal this year is to grant 450 wishes for Arizona children facing critical illnesses. We are expanding our efforts and reach statewide so we can get closer to our vision - to grant the wish of every eligible child.

Every wish is as unique as the kids we serve. The common thread behind these wishes? Each wish is possible because of supporters in our community! Below are just a few ways you can help to support our mission.

Make-A-Wish is committed to championing diversity, equity and inclusion, fostering an organization that is accessible and welcoming. In turn, we are uniting communities to help make more wishes possible.

· Our mission is most effectively fulfilled through a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion as core values and practice.

· It is only through our mosaic of different cultures, perspectives and experiences that we can grant life-changing wishes to every eligible child.

· As the world’s largest wish-granting organization we stand against racism and intolerance and are committed to representation and acceptance, creating a sense of belonging, and practicing fairness in creating opportunities for our wish families, volunteers and staff.
