Tens of thousands of volunteers, donors and supporters advance the Make-A-Wish® vision to grant the wish of every child diagnosed with a critical illness. In the U.S. and its territories, a wish is granted every 34 minutes.

Make-A-Wish traces its inspiration to Christopher James Greicius, an energetic 7-year-old boy battling leukemia who wishes to be a police officer. In 1980, his Phoenix community came together to make his wish come true. Little did Chris know that his wish would create a movement that would transform millions of lives.

Wish Granting The mission of the Make-A-Wish Foundation is to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. The children we serve are fighting for their lives, and their families are doing everything that they can to help them in their battles.

Frank "Bopsy" Salazar is the first official Make-A-Wish kid.

Our mission is to bring an affordable and entertaining mobile shopping experience to billions of consumers around the world.

501(c)(3) nonprofit organization The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in the United States that helps fulfill the wishes of children with a critical illness between the ages of 21⁄2 and 18 years old. Make-A-Wish was founded in 1980 and is headquartered in Phoenix.

As reported by Guinness, Cena is the most requested celebrity for wishes. In the 42 years since the foundation began, no other figure has granted more than 200 wishes. "I want them to have an experience that will stay with them to forever," he told The Hollywood Reporter of his commitment to the foundation.

Hope and wish have very similar meanings. We use them to express our desire for something different from how it is now.

John Cena John Cena is officially the owner of a new world record. Last week, Guinness World Records announced that the 45-year-old U.S. pro-wrestler and actor set the record for the most wishes granted through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Wish Kid Jenna and her mother, Krissy, have both fought long and uphill battles. But together, by providing support and optimism for each other, the pair have emerged survivors – stronger than ever.
