The Make-A-Wish Foundation was founded in 1980 when it granted the wish of a seven year old child named Chris, who was fighting leukemia. His dream was to become a police officer. His wish was granted, and he spent a day touring the Arizona Department of Public Safety, fitting right in with his own police uniform. Sadly, Chris passed away the next day, but his family drew comfort from the knowledge that he had his wish granted, and his last day was spent living his dream. Since that first wish, this foundation has reached almost 200,000 children worldwide.Since Make-A-Wish is a nonprofit company, it relies mostly on fundraising and donations. Donors have many different options, whether it's a one-time donation to fund an entire wish by adopting a wish or a monthly amount of their
choosing. Individuals and groups can volunteer to raise money for the foundation. The options are endless, whether a school wants to have a bake sale or a business wants to host an event. Donors can also donate airplane miles, electronics and other items that are in high demand. If you wish to donate to the MidSouth Arkansas chapter, click the 'Donate Online' button below.
