Make-A-Wish^® Idaho

Boise, ID: On March 28, Make-A-Wish Idaho will launch its second Wish Heroes fundraising campaign to raise money to grant life-changing wishes to children with critical Illnesses. The campaign is based on the power of a select group of individuals—Wish Heroes—sharing why wishes matter and raising funds for Make-A-Wish Idaho during the campaign which ends on April 29, World Wish Day.

Each Wish Hero is informally tasked with raising $1,000. Although not every Wish Hero will accomplish this goal, Make-A-Wish Idaho is incredibly grateful for the support of anyone who would like to try.

“As wish referrals increase, our need to fund wishes grows,” said Director of Development Helene Peterson. “Right now, there are over 150 Idaho wish kids waiting on their wishes. We need funds to ensure their wishes are granted quickly while continuing to grant new and incoming wishes in a timely matter. In short, we need heroes now more than ever.”

Wish Heroes receive a personalized fundraising page they can use to raise money on social media, via email or with a personal site. The fundraising webpage is mobile-friendly and easy to use. Wish Heroes can also receive support from Make-A-Wish Idaho staff.  

Make-A-Wish Idaho is also seeking out support from Idaho-based companies who would be willing to participate. Corporate Wish Heroes will receive special recognition from Make-A-Wish Idaho on social media, email and elsewhere.
