Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia Celebrates 35 Years

Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia celebrates 35 years

35 years of wishes

Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia was founded in 1987 with a mission to grant inspirational, life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Together, our incredible volunteers, partners, supporters and friends have granted more than 5,000 extraordinary wishes since then and counting.  

Simply put, wishes wouldn’t exist without you  -  our community - and we'd like to thank our supporters  for believing in the power of a wish and touching the lives of thousands of children and families over the past 35 years.

We're especially grateful to our 35th Anniversary Sponsors, Abilene Motor Express and McGeorge Toyota, for creating a lasting impact on the lives of children battling critical illnesses, their families and communities.
