Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has enriched the
lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions
through its wish-granting work. The Foundation's mission
reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish®
experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors,
sponsors and entire communities.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation was founded in 1980 after a
little boy named Chris Greicius realized his heartfelt wish to
become a police officer. Since its humble beginnings, the
organization has blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon,
reaching more than 144,000 children around the world.

Although it has become one of the world's most well-known
charities, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has maintained the
grassroots fulfillment of its mission.

A network of more than 25,000 volunteers enable the
Make-A-Wish Foundation to serve children with life-threatening
medical conditions. Volunteers serve as wish granters,
fundraisers, special events assistants and in numerous other
capacities.

As the Foundation continues to mature, its mission will remain
steadfast. Wish children of the past, present and future will
have an opportunity to share the power of a wish®.
