Über uns
At Make-A-Wish® America, we are more than a great place to work – our work is life-changing. We are an inclusive and diverse group of people who, through a mosaic of backgrounds, thoughts and experiences, are united in purposeful work. We are fueled and guided by our values – values that are represented in the inspired people we work with and the transformational work we do, every day. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Make-A-Wish is the world’s leading children’s wish-granting organization, serving children in every community in the U.S. and in 50 countries worldwide. More than 40 years ago the inspiration for Make-A-Wish began with one little boy’s wish to be a police officer. Today, together with our volunteers, donors, staff and supporters, Make-A-Wish has granted more than 500,000 life-changing wishes and transformed countless lives worldwide. There is nothing more powerful than making a child’s wish come true. And at Make-A-Wish, we will stop at nothing to ensure every eligible child received a life-changing wish. We believe – and research shows – that a wish gives kids the resilience, courage and strength they need to fight their critical illnesses. A wish doesn’t signify an end or one happy moment in time … a wish truly has the power to transform lives. This is why wishes matter. This is Make-A-Wish. Mission: Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Granting wishes is what we do. With our official sports partner Fanatics by our side, we are able to make special moments like these happen at the first-ever Fanatics Fest 🤝 Fanatics Fest in an annual event where fans and athletes come together to celebrate their love for sports. Wish kids were able to mingle with their favorite celebrities and enjoy a weekend full of trading cards, one-of-a-kind merch and moments they will treasure for a lifetime.

In honor of WishMaker Johnny Gaudreau ⭐ Johnny was a beloved member of the Make-A-Wish community who granted many wishes and brought so much joy to wish kids. Just last year, Johnny granted Alex's wish to meet him. Alex traveled all the way from Make-A-Wish Canada, New Brunswick, to meet Johnny and we're honored to share this video of their day together and the visible joy that Johnny brought to our community. His family and loved ones are in our thoughts and we are forever grateful to him. Make-A-Wish Canada Columbus Blue Jackets Make-A-Wish America

A huge thanks to Winnebago Industries for helping make wishes come true! 🚐✨ With their support, three incredible outdoor adventures have become unforgettable memories for our wish kids. Kowen, age 6, who is bravely fighting a brain tumor, embarked on an RV trip to Yellowstone National Park in a Minnie Winnie. He loved hiking in nature, spotting wildlife, and sleeping in the cozy top bunk. 🏞️🐻 Dylan, age 12, who has a neuromuscular disorder, explored Colorado's beauty with the help of a Track Wheelchair and a wheelchair-accessible Jeep tour. From Staunton State Park to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, Dylan experienced freedom and joy in the great outdoors. 🏔️🚙 Aliza, age 7, who is battling leukemia, gazed at the Milky Way galaxy at Sequoia National Park, creating an inspiring moment under the stars. 🌌✨ Thank you, Winnebago Industries Foundation, for helping us bring these adventures to life. Your support means the world to us and our wish families!

For National Nonprofit Day, we wanted to take a moment and recognize our 58 chapters operating in communities across the U.S. and its territories 💙 These chapters work day in and day out to grant wishes. Through working with local partners, organizing volunteers, or hosting wish families, our chapters are committed to helping us achieve our shared mission – creating life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Together, we are able to grant wishes every 33 minutes on average. That is something worth celebrating 🤩 Let us know the chapter you volunteer with, support, or work at 🤝
