Fundraising & Special Events
Make-A-Wish® special events play an important role in helping the Foundation raise awareness and funds to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. We encourage you to patronize these sponsors.
Kids For Wish Kids®
Putting the “fun” in fundraising, Kids For Wish Kids offers youngsters a unique opportunity to raise money for some very special children - Make-A-Wish kids.
This educational program allows students to work with one another and enables them to develop leadership skills while raising money for a great cause. With the assistance of parents, teachers and community leaders, this program provides students and young people the opportunity to be creative and develop fundraisers in order to grant the wish of a child in their community.
Wishmakers On Campus®
Wishmakers on Campus is a fundraising program designed for high school and college organizations, such as student governments, athletic teams and Greek organizations, interested in contributing some of their time and energy to help grant the wishes of local children who have life-threatening medical conditions.
