2021 Year in Wishes

Page 20

Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

We serve 51 counties in NC

We are 100% local Since 1985, more than 5,500 wishes have been granted. The average cost of a wish has historically been $6,000, but it has climbed over the past 18 months as wish kids imagine new and different kinds of wishes in lieu of travel.

Why a wish? A wish is empowering and life-affirming. A wish provides strength and motivation to keep fighting. A wish transforms the lives of children, their families, and entire communities.

You can make an impact! ENGAGE YOUR COMPANY

MAKE A GIFT Give the gift of a wish by donating one-time, making monthly contributions, or providing goods and services.

Our generous local corporate partners help grant life-changing wishes through innovative and customized sponsorship programs.
