• The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a prominent non-
profit organization founded in Phoenix, Arizona in
1980.
• The mission of Make-A-Wish is to grant the wishes of
children with life-threatening medical conditions to
enrich the human experience with hope, strength and
joy.

3. • Make-A-Wish was inspired by Chris
Greicius. Chris had been diagnosed
with Leukemia at a young age and all he
wanted to do was be a policeman.The
Arizona Department of Public Safety,
Chris’ mother and a few friends were
able to make Chris’ wish come true.
• This generous idea had continued to
grow and bring the same hope and
enjoy it received from Chris to other
children across the world. The Make A-
Wish foundation has continued to grow
over the years and is now operating in
50 countries.

4. • A child must be referred by someone in order for that child to receive a wish and must be diagnosed
with a life-threatening disease.
• The child must be between the ages 3-17 in order to be granted a wish.
• According to the Make-A-Wish website, the child can be referred by one of the three sources:
• medical professionals, a parent/guardian, or the potential wish child.
• Once the child is referred, then the child’s doctor must decide whether or not he or she is eligible for a
wish based off their medical records.
• Now, the child’s treatment and health are still the priorities, so the doctor and the family will work with
Make-A-Wish to decide when will be a reasonable time to make this wish come true
• Types of Wishes:
• I wish to go
• I wish to have
• I wish to be
The Process for Make-A-Wish

6. • The Make-A-Wish foundation has had incredible
success over the years because of the generous
donors and volunteers that have supported them

7. • One athlete in particular
who has really be involved
in the Make-A-Wish
Foundation is WWE star,
John Cena. John has
granted over 300 wishes
and really knows how put a
smile on these children’s
faces.
