Wishes Granted
“If you could wish for anything . . . what would it be?” Wish granting starts with one question — a wonderful and magical question that indulges the imagination and empowers the spirit. The answer can be as simple as a new puppy or as complicated as touring the Ferrari factory in Italy. The Make-A-Wish® staff and its base of more than 350 caring, trained volunteers use creativity and the generosity of others to fulfill each wish.
