Make-A-Wish® Southern Florida

Make-A-Wish® Southern Florida is part of the world’s largest and most well-established wish-granting organization.Our mission is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Whether a child chooses to go somewhere exotic, meet an adored celebrity, have a treasured gift or be a dream occupation for the day, each wish experience is tailor-made to exceed all expectations. The Southern Florida chapter grants a wish every 16 hours and has granted more than 11,000 wishes since its inception in 1983. With the average cost of a wish being $5,000, Make-A-Wish relies on fundraisers, corporate support and donations from the public to bring sunshine into the lives of families when they need it most. The work of Make-A-Wish is accomplished by a volunteer governing board of directors, advisory groups, a paid staff of dedicated employees and hundreds of committed volunteers. The chapter is a 501(c)(3) non-profit incorporated in the state of Florida. To help share the power of a wish®, call Make-A-Wish at 1 (888) 773-WISH or log on to www.sfla.wish.org.
