Welcome to the Wish Family Alumni program and portal!

Your wish is one of more than 20,000 wishes we’ve granted since our founding in 1983 for kids with critical illnesses across Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana. We formed the Wish Family Alumni program for any family living in Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana who has experienced a wish to offer opportunities to come together, share stories, and strengthen their connection to Make-A-Wish.
