A wish is a turning point in a child’s medical journey that opens the door to exciting possibilities. When you help grant a wish, you restore hope for a child and improve their mental well-being. With hope, they find light in the darkness of their current circumstances. This hope can only be found in a wish and you have the power to create it.

World Wish Day is April 29th, the day we celebrate the wish that led to our founding nearly 40 years ago. 7-year-old Chris Greicius’ wish to be a police officer inspired his community, the nation, and the world. Since then, more than 500,000 wishes have been granted worldwide.Â
This World Wish Day, you can show your support Make-A-Wish by wearing Make-A-Wish blue, starting your own online fundraiser, or getting your school or company involved with wish-granting.
