Goal: $20,000

Make-A-Wish Central New York is a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization dedicated to granting life-changing wishes for critically ill children between the ages of 2 ½ and 18 years. Part of a global wish-granting organization, Make-A-Wish Central New York has granted more than 1,900 wishes for local children since being founded in 1985. The organization believes in the transformative joy a wish can bring and is committed to reaching every eligible child within its 15-county footprint, which includes Broome, Cayuga, Chenango, Cortland, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego, Otsego, St. Lawrence, Tioga and Tompkins counties.

With more than 200 wishes in process, the organization needs the support of generous community and corporate partners more than ever before. Wishes can’t wait! Please lend support today or learn more by visiting cny.wish.org.
