The Make-A-Wish® Foundation of Rhode Island (est.
1991) grants the wishes (918 to date) of children between the
ages of 2 ˝ and 18 years with life-threatening medical
conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength
and joy. The
Foundation's mission reflects the life-changing impact that a
Make-A-Wish® experience has on children, families, referral
sources, donors, sponsors and entire communities.
Born in 1980 when a group of caring volunteers
helped a young boy fulfill his dream of becoming a police
officer, Make-A-Wish is the largest wish-granting charity in the
world, with 67 chapters in the United States and its
territories. With the help of generous donors and more than
25,000 volunteers, Make-A-Wish grants a wish every 41 minutes
and has granted more than 161,000
wishes in the U.S. since inception. For more information about
