The Kids for Wish Kids® program is designed to give young people the opportunity to sponsor wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. It provides kids and teens the chance to participate in fundraising efforts and to spread awareness about Make-A-Wish® within their community.
Kids for Wish Kids is extremely popular among schools, honors & service groups, church groups, sports teams and more! Each group or individual has complete ownership of the program and is responsible for carrying it out. Teachers
and parents often serve as advisors, but the group is completely responsible for the management of their project. |
