Make-A-Wish Foundation of Wisconsin, Inc.
100 W. College Ave., Suite 50E

Nonprofit
Mission: Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Clientele: Children ages 2.5-18 who have been diagnosed with a progressive, degenerative or malignant medial condition that has placed their life in jeopardy.
Services: We grant 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. The impact varies. 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.
