Make-A-Wish® Illinois Chapter

Sponsor A Wish

The Adopt-A-Wish® Program allows you, your family, your business or your organization to sponsor a child's wish and make his or her dream come true.   

With your generous gift, you have the power to restore smiles and laughter to a child facing a life threatening medical condition by granting one, simple, most desired wish.

  • Your gift of $5,000 grants the wish of a child to visit a special theme park, bring a new puppy into their family, have a complete room make-over or enjoy a shopping spree experience!
  • Your gift of $10,000 grants the wish of a child to swim with the dolphins in Hawaii, travel to Europe to experience places only seen in text books or have the freedom to visit a swimming pool in their own backyard.

Each day our Foundation receives emails, letters and pictures from children and their families recounting their wonderful wish experiences.  With every sponsored wish, you will receive a brief story about the experience of the child and their family.  To see a few of these wish stories, you can visit our wish stories page.

If your business or organization is interested in adopting a wish, contact Anne Cressy at 312.602.9419.

If you are interested in adopting a wish as an individual or small group of individuals, please contact Linda Parck at 312.602.9420.

There is never a waiting list for a wish. All eligible children can begin the wish process as soon as the child and family are ready. InfoSpot
