About Us
Dear Friends:
Fall is always an exciting time for us at the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Illinois. Like schools, we run on a year that starts in September and ends in August. We've just finished a record-breaking year, granting 702 wishes in Illinois, and we're all geared up to grant another 700 wishes in our fiscal year 2010!
Throughout this site, you can find inspiring stories and dozens of ways to get involved in making a difference in the life of a courageous child through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Community support on all levels is very important to bringing our mission to the children who need us. Your involvement means that we can bring hope, strength and joy back into the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions by providing them a magical wish experience.
We invite you to become a volunteer, learn how to refer a child, donate your frequent flier miles or participate in one of the many other fundraising events happening across the state this year. All of the information you'll need to share the power of wish® is right here at http://www.wishes.org/. If you prefer to reach us by phone, you can always call our office at 800.978.WISH (312.602.WISH in Chicago) to speak with one of our staff members.
We very much appreciate your time to visit our site today. We look forward to working with you to fulfill the promise of a wish to courageous children across Illinois!
Warmest wishes,
