Mission

The mission of Make-A-Wish America is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

  • Every wish experience is driven by the wish child’s interests, creativity and personality.
  • Healthcare professionals, parents, legal guardians, family members and potential wish recipients can initiate the referral inquiry process.
  • The child's treating physician will be contacted to determine whether the child meets our eligibility criteria at the time they are referred.
