OUR MISSION

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

​

WHO WE SERVE

Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire grants wishes to children in Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Since 1983, our chapter has granted over 8,300 local wishes! 

​

HOPE CAN'T WAIT

For every wish we’re able to grant, there are two more children with a critical illness waiting for theirs. Today alone, 72 kids will receive a critical illness diagnosis and we rely on the generosity of donors like you to make their wishes come true. Help us bring hope for today – and tomorrow.

A WISH BEGINS WITH HOPE.

AND HOPE BEGINS WITH YOU.

A wish experience can be a game-changer

for a child with a critical illness. 

This one belief guides us in everything we do at Make-A-Wish. It inspires us to grant life-changing wishes for children going through so much. It compels us to be creative in exceeding the expectations of every wish kid. It drives us to make our donated resources go as far as possible. Most of all, it's the founding principle of our vision to grant the wish of every eligible child.

Together, we create life-changing wishes

for children with critical illnesses.

​

Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time. Wishes impact everyone involved—wish kids, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals and communities. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy.
