Make-A-Wish Foundation; Volunteer at 800-722-WISH.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation (1-800-722-WISH) has helped children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work since 1980. In fact, this renowned charity has granted nearly 168,000 wishes.

The Foundation has changed the lives of the children, their families, and even the donors, sponsors and entire communities who have pitched in to send a sick child to Disney, on a cruise, to camp, for lessons or for whatever their specific wish may be.

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. Although it has become one of the world's most well-known charities, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has maintained its grassroots. It relies on donations and volunteers to continue to grant children wishes. To learn about the organization, read about recent wishes, or to donate go to www.wish.org.
