Wishmakers on Campus

Join our Wishmakers on Campus® program, a fundraising program designed for college organizations, such as student governments, athletic teams and Greek organizations, interested in contributing some of their time and energy to help grant the wishes of children with critical illnesses.  
 
Wishmakers On Campus allows college-age students to rally together to plan and coordinate fundraising campaigns and help those closest to them: former classmates or other kids in their community. Local students do it all – organize, raise funds and manage their program with support from parent or teacher advisors. This hands-on experience allows them to see first-hand how they can impact a child’s life by helping grant their wish. 

Here's your chance to have tons of fun by helping to make dreams come true for kids with critical illnesses. As a Wishmakers On Campus volunteer, you can partner with Make-A-Wish and coordinate a fundraiser at your school to help sponsor wishes for wish kids in your community. But before you launch a fundraiser, be sure contact our office for event approval. 

Through the program, your group can: 

  • Increase awareness of the Make-A-Wish mission 
  • Foster the value of community service 
  • Create school spirit 
  • Empower students to be actively involved in helping to grant wishes to courageous children 
  • Provide partnership opportunities between students, school and community 
  • Experience the joy of helping a child 

The program includes fundraising ideas and objectives to simplify the planning process. Your group simply adds your own creative touch to existing ideas or create a project of your own.
