In our milestone year, we need your help to grant a record 800 wishes for children in our community who deserve a wish come true. • In January of 1984, the local Make-A-Wish chapter granted its first wish. Six-year-old George wished to go to Walt Disney World, starting a long tradition of magical Disney memories. Thanks to the help of many Make-A-Wish supporters, the Foundation has granted the wishes of over 6,000 wishes since that day. • Currently, there are 767 children in greater Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana waiting for their wishes to be granted. We need your help to make sure these local wishes come true! • The average value of a wish is $6,000, however, any gift, large or small, will impact a family and create hope, strength and joy during a time when a family in your community needs it most. • There are many ways you can personally connect to wish families in your neighborhood while raising funds for local children waiting for their magical wish experience.
