Make-A-Wish® Southern Florida is part of the world’s largest and most well-established wish-granting organization. Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We have granted more than 14,000 life-changing wishes since 1983 for children who have critical illnesses. It aims to grant a wish for every medically-eligible child in its territory. Wish kids most often ‘wish to be’ (something), ‘wish to meet’ (someone), ‘wish to go’ (somewhere), or ‘wish to have’ (something) and the nonprofit organization makes this happen for the child and his/her entire family at no cost or obligation. The Southern Florida chapter is a 501(c)(3) non-profit incorporated in the state of Florida - its territory includes 22 counties/four regions in southeast and southwest Florida, Tampa Bay, and the Suncoast (Sarasota area). It also includes the U.S. Virgin Islands. To help share the power of a wish®, call Make-A-Wish at 1 (888) 773-WISH or go to https://wish.org/sfla.
