Adopt-A-Wish
The Adopt-A-Wish program enables our Chapter to grant wishes in a fiscally responsible manner to every medically-eligible child referred to the organization. The Stories of Light campaign runs from mid-September to mid-January each year and the summer campaign runs in June and July. Both campaigns are designed to support the Adopt-A-Wish program.

Through our Adopt-A-Wish program, individuals, corporations and organizations directly help make children's wishes become realities by underwriting the cost of an individual wish or by targeting the gift for support of a specific part of a wish. The process is simple - determine that you and/or your company wants to be involved in a wish and notify Make-A-Wish of your gift. We will inform you in writing regarding the wish you sponsored. The information we give you will include the child's name, age, illness, other interests of the child and information on the wish.

The "Stories of Light" campaign takes place during the holiday season. The tremendous media support this campaign generates offers wonderful public awareness for our wish work, provides information for those who want to support wishes, and shares with the community the civic leaders that are already "caring" for Wish Children through a financial gift to the Adopt-A-Wish program.

There are additional benefits associated with the Adopt-A-Wish program including recognition in prominent print media. But the most important benefit is the knowledge that you have provided wonderful moments for Wish Children and their families.
