The recording industry measures success with gold and platinum albums. If the Make-A-Wish Foundation did the same, Mariah Carey would have armfuls. The recording star is a prolific wish granter who helped the Foundation celebrate its 25th anniversary.

Carey is at the top of the charts when it comes to delighting wish kids. In addition to the dozens of wishes she’s granted in her career, she committed to granting every wish slated for her “Adventures of Mimi” tour. Many children have also taken Carey’s place at music awards shows, thanks to her generosity.

Carey also donates to help grant performing arts/music wishes; she has donated more than $100,000 to fund more than 20 wishes. Aaron, 17, had his wish granted thanks to the singer’s donations. He wished for music equipment – a guitar, keyboard, microphones and a drumset – so he could bring his own music to life. He recorded a compact disc of his own songs, signed it and sent it to Carey as thanks for her generosity and the inspiration she provided.

The pop legend was also willing to take the stage for the Foundation when it celebrated its 25th anniversary. She joined other celebrities such as Paige Hurd and fashion designer Indashio during an event at Madame Tussaud’s in New York City. Together, they unveiled the Wish Stars fundraising art project at a press conference.
