Make-A-Wish Arizona 4.81

We grant the wishes of Arizona children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Arizona is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that was founded in Phoenix in 1980.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Arizona is the founding chapter.

The Foundation has granted more than 4,000 wishes to date.

The inspiration for the Foundation was the dream of a seven-year-old Phoenix boy with leukemia named Chris Greicius, who wished to be a policeman. Little did Chris know, his wish would be the inspiration for the largest wish-granting organization in the world.
