GET INVOLVED

WHEN A CHILD IS DIAGNOSED WITH A CRITICAL ILLNESS, ONLY ONE THING IS SURE: LIFE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.

Hospital stays, doctor’s visits, and treatments disrupt all that feels ‘normal’—for the child and for loved ones. Families’ resilience and resources are stretched for years.

This year we will grant approximately 155 wishes for Nevada kids with an average cost of $10,000-$12,500 per wish.

To reach our ultimate goal of granting every eligible Child’s wish, we need to build financial sustainability to ensure we fulfill our mission each year without worry or delay. Our chapter receives only private financial support and no government funding as we continually work to ensure we are meeting the demands of a growing population.

Please consider giving a gift in support of our mission to reach every eligible child in Nevada. With your help, we can prepare now to make the stars align for wish kids who need it most. Your support will ensure that every child who has waited for a wish since this health crisis hit, receives their wish as soon as possible. Together, we can shine a light of hope and joy to children in their darkest days, bringing them strength for tomorrow.

I wish to have acting lessons

I wish to have a princess birthday bash

Meet Jania

W I S H G R A N T E D , 2 0 2 4

Four-year-old Jania, despite facing medical challenges, is known for her fiery and spirited personality Her mom shares that while frequent hospital visits can be tough, Jania still finds joy in typical four-year-old activities like meeting new friends, reading, riding her scooter, collecting LOL Dolls, playing Barbies, and watching Peppa Pig on repeat.

Jania’s past birthdays were spent in the hospital, preventing her from truly celebrating. This inspired her wish for a grand princess birthday bash, a day where she could just be a kid without restrictions. And when her wish came true, it was everything she had wished for!

Jania loved every moment of her special day, where she got to be a princess with a tiara on her head and joy in her heart. The celebration featured a real-life princess, face painting, and an amazing balloon artist. Jania was surrounded by friends and family, dancing and laughing without a care in the world. Thanks to Raisin’ Canes, there was plenty of delicious food at a generous deal, and Freed’s Bakery donated a stunning cake fit for royalty.

This wish day was a celebration of Jania’s resilience and lively spirit a reminder of the happiness that dreams bring to life. Here’s to more days of play, laughter, and love, Princess Jania!

A Wish isn’t just Nice. IT’S NECESSARY.

• Wishes often represent pivotal moments in Children’s lives, a time that reminds them of what they are fighting for. Our latest medical research shows that a wish can give a child the resilience he or she needs to flight a critical illness.

• A wish brings healing beyond medicine. As doctors work to diagnose and treat critical illnesses, many include a wish as part of the child’s medical treatment plan. They believe that wishes and the entire wish process have a powerful and essential effect on the well-being and health outcomes of their patients.

• It is for these very reasons that your generous support of Make-A-Wish Nevada is crucial to our mission of granting life-changing wishes for thousands of children.

The Wish Experience

Referral

Every wish experience begins with a referral. We rely on wish referrals from medical professionals, parents, legal guardians, and family members with detailed knowledge of the child’s current medical condition. A child qualifies for a wish if they have a critical illness, are older than 2½ years and younger than 18, and have not received a wish from Make-A-Wish or any other wish granting organization.

Eligibility

After a child is referred, Make-A-Wish’s National Medical Affairs Team will determine the child’s eligibility for a wish, i.e. suffering from a progressive, degenerative, or malignant condition, which places the child’s life in jeopardy.

Welcome Call

Once the child is deemed eligible for a wish, a Make-A-Wish volunteer calls the family to share the exciting news. During this time, our volunteers share the wish process and collect valuable information about the wish child, their medical journey, and other important details.

Wish Discovery

Wish discovery volunteers help wish kids determine their heartfelt wishes. This is one of the most emotionally demanding volunteer positions at Make-A-Wish, but also the most rewarding. Wish discovery volunteers work in pairs, and the majority of the wish discovery visits are conducted at The Wishing Place. Volunteers and staff work together to ensure the child’s heartfelt wish is determined.

Concept Approval

All wishes must be approved by staff, management, and sometimes the board of directors. There are several types of wishes Make-A-Wish cannot grant; for example, bounce houses, in-ground pools, cash, medical treatment, to name a few. The team also takes into consideration the family’s ability to sustain a wish long after it is granted.

Wish Planning

Our wish coordinators work directly with the wish family to plan all the details of the wish. In some cases, we seek volunteer support from wish experts. Wish experts are people and companies who can bring expertise about the wish to the planning process.

Wish Enhancement

Wish designers work with a wish coordinator on staff to plan, create, and host Wish Reveals. Wish designers may also assist staff with local wishes such as shopping sprees, room makeovers, etc.

Wish Granted

The child’s imagination is always the driving force in determining, designing, and coordinating a life-changing wish experience. While most wish requests fall into five major categories, the possibilities are endless because kids are so creative and inspired by the chance to have a wish come true. The five wish categories are: I wish to go, I wish to be, I wish to meet, I wish to have, and I wish to give. Our team strives to personalize each wish and make it match the wish kid’s idea of a perfect experience. The impact of a wish is powerful and long-lasting.

Volunteers

The power that makes these cogs turn to grant wishes is provided by our active volunteers. Volunteers are utilized in each step of the wish process.

Wishes are as unique as the child making the request, but typically fall within four categories.

In FY24, our breakdown of wishes is as follows:

I Wish to Have 21% I Wish to Be 1% I Wish to Go 76%

(Ex: I wish to have a backyard playground, Lucas, 7, cancer)

(Ex: I wish to be a YouTuber, Savannah, 8, cystic fibrosis)

(Ex: I wish to go to the San Diego Zoo, Sergey 6, congenital heart disease)

I Wish to Meet 1%

(Ex: I wish to meet Minnie Mouse (virtually), Gloria, 5, leukemia)

I Wish to Give 1%

(Ex: I wish to give toys to other kids, Dominic, 4, leukemia)

The Adopt-A-Wish® program is a powerful way to make an immediate, life-changing impact on a child battling a critical illness.

• Meet the Wish Child & Family – Personally connect with the child and their parents to hear firsthand about their journey and the joy their wish brings.

Make Your Values Last Forever PLANNED GIVING

YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MAKE-A-WISH ® IS DRIVEN BY YOUR UNIQUE “WHY.”

There may be a deeply personal reason you care so much about the children and families we serve, a story that compels you to help us turn their wishes into a reality.

BEQUESTS AND BENEFICIARY DESIGNATIONS

For many, the largest gift of a lifetime may come though their estate plan. No decision is more personal than the disposition of your estate.

Will or Living Trust

A will or living trust can help you provide for loved ones, and it also allows you to express your charitable intentions. Naming Make-A-Wish Nevada as a beneficiary through a bequest in your will can be easy, flexible and may benefit your heirs through tax savings. A bequest may take the form of cash, securities including retirement plans, real estate, life insurance and other forms. Through a charitable bequest in your will or living trust, you can ensure that wishes come true for children with critical illnesses.

Life Insurance and Retirement Plan Beneficiary Designations

Naming Make-A-Wish Nevada as a beneficiary of a qualified retirement asset or insurance policy is one of the easiest ways to leave a significant gift that can benefit wish kids as well as your heirs. Simply list Make-A-Wish Nevada among your beneficiaries on the forms provided by your program administrator. You can name us for the full value of the asset, a specific percentage or dollar amount or even as a contingent beneficiary. Qualified assets include life insurance policies, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), 401(k), 403(b), KEOGH plans and commercial annuities.

Sample Unrestricted Bequest Language

I give the sum of $______ or ______% to Make-A-Wish Nevada, 9950 Covington Cross Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89144 · Tax ID 88-0371088, to be used or disposed of as its Board of Directors deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

Charitable Gift Annuity

I wish to be a professional skateboarder Angel, 6 vascular disorder

A charitable gift annuity is a simple contractual agreement between you and Make-A-Wish Nevada. In exchange for a gift of cash or readily marketable securities, Make-A-Wish Nevada agrees to pay you and/or your loved ones fixed payments for life. The payout rate depends on the number of recipients, their ages and the current rates in effect when the gift is made. Once determined, however, it is important to note that the payout rate will not fluctuate with the market. Make-A-Wish Nevada issues gift annuities to any beneficiary over the age of 60 who wishes to make a gift of $10,000 and greater You may also defer charitable gift annuities. This means you can give now and begin receiving payments later on, with the guarantee of a higher rate of return. Donors who defer income for a period of years can take a larger immediate income tax deduction. This can be a great retirement planning tool for younger donors.

Charitable Remainder or Charitable Lead Trust

With a charitable remainder trust, you designate a qualifying gift to Make-A-Wish Nevada through a trust. You can use either cash or noncash possessions to fund the trust. Your trust provides regular payments to one or more individuals for life or for a term of years. When the trust terminates, the amount bequeathed in the trust is transferred to Make-A-Wish Nevada to be used for the purpose you designated.

A charitable lead trust is a unique planned gift arrangement that makes payments to Make-A-Wish Nevada for a specific pre-determined period of time. When the term of the trust ends, the remaining assets are returned to you or distributed to your heirs.

Endowing Wishes through the Wishes Forever ® Program

When you fund an endowment, you create a meaningful legacy that ensures wish kids can experience the transformational impact of a wish. Endowments are tailored to match your personal interests with the interests of wish kids. You may designate a specific geographic area, type of wish or medical condition to benefit from your gift – or you may choose the area of greatest need. You can create an endowment through your estate or with a cash gift.

Make Your Planned Gift Today to Help Tomorrow’s Wishes Come True

Wishes aren’t just nice – they are necessary. This belief drives everything we do. It compels us to exceed the expectations of every wish kid while making our donated resources go as far as possible. It’s the founding principle of our vision to grant the wish of every eligible child. Please make your planned gift today. Your legacy will create hope, strength and transformation for generations to come.

We Want to Thank You Now. Join Legacy of Wishes SM

Our Legacy of Wishes Society celebrates and recognizes donors who have included Make-A-Wish Nevada in their estate plan. It keeps you connected to our mission through the stories of our wish kids.

Meet Avery WISH GRANTED, 2024

I wish to have unlimited costumes

Avery, 8 inflammatory disorder

Meet Avery, a funny, silly, and sweet eight-year-old with a passion for dress-up that brings him endless joy and adventure. Avery’s love for costumes lets him explore every world his imagination can dream of—whether it’s as a brave astronaut, a ferocious dinosaur, or a clever superhero.

However, his path to playtime has been marked by a brave battle with health challenges. Avery was diagnosed with an inflammatory disorder in early 2024. His daily life now includes treatments, but Avery hasn’t let his spirit wane. In fact, his love for dressing up has become his way of finding joy and expressing his boundless imagination.

On Halloween, Avery’s costume wish came to life in “spooktacular” style at the Wishing Place. His day began with a limo ride, arriving to the cheers of Make-A-Wish Nevada staff, volunteers, and classmates, all decked out in festive costumes to welcome him. The surprise continued as Avery was presented with countless costume options to start his new collection. Without hesitation, he grabbed a police uniform, slipped into character, and proudly showed it off to his friends and family. The celebration continued with trick-or-treating around the Wishing Place, pumpkin decorating, and pizza—transforming the day into a Halloween wish come true.

A huge thank you goes out to Greenberg Traurig for sponsoring Avery’s incredible wish. His collection of costumes will be there to spark his creativity and keep his spirits high, giving him a chance to be any character his heart desires and remind him that his strength and joy are limitless. .
