Make-A-Wish Wisconsin

Mission: To create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Make-A-Wish traces its inspiration to Christopher James Greicius, an energetic 7-year-old boy battling leukemia who wishes to be a police officer. In 1980, his Phoenix community came together to make his wish come true. Little did Chris know that his wish would create a movement that would transform millions of lives.

Today, Make-A-Wish has granted hundreds of thousands of life-changing wishes to children battling critical illnesses. Wishes that give families hope through dark times, strength to persevere and experiences that forever change their lives.

Make-A-Wish Wisconsin grants wishes for children who are battling critical illnesses because a wish come true replaces their many fears with hope their anxiety with strength and their sadness with joy. For many, their wish marks a turning point in the fight against their illness!

At every level of the organization, volunteers are critical to the mission. Get started today and soon you can bring hope and joy to local children with critical illnesses as a Make-A-Wish volunteer.
