Adopt-A-Wish®

Who adopts a wish?

Individuals & families             Employees                                         Companies
   

Everyone involved in fulfilling the wish of a sick child is touched by the magic of the experience…magic that brings hope, strength and joy to children and their families during a difficult time. A wish is something precious to look forward to and can make all the difference to a sick child and their family.

By adopting a wish you too can be part of the magic. When you, your company, professional club, or student group chooses to adopt a specific child’s wish, you have the opportunity to become connected to the wish experience. Every wish is a unique and memorable experience for the wish child, the wish family and all those who participate in the wish. And many donors say they began their support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation^® and its endearing mission after hearing a child’s memorable wish story.

Now you can help create more heartwarming stories for children with life-threatening medical conditions through the Adopt-A-Wish^® program.  This program allows the opportunity for individuals or corporations to grants the one true wish of a child.  With this program, donors are able to make a connection with not only the child, but with their family and actually see the impact of their donation.

You can participate in Adopt-A-Wish beginning with a donation of $1,500 or more.  The Make-A-Wish Foundation covers all costs associated with a wish, including transportation, food, lodging and admission fees for the entire family. We will provide you with a special story about your adopted wish so that you can see how your contribution brings joy to a courageous wish child.
