Some people get so committed to helping the Make-A-Wish® mission that it becomes part of their identity. From professional figure skaters to custom motorcycle builders, people of all backgrounds continue helping the Foundation share the power of a wish®.
My eyes lit up, my heart raced and my jaw hurt from smiling so big. I didn’t know if I wanted to cry, scream, or just stand there in shock.
– Kayla, 17
Kayla knows that, one day, she’ll need a new heart and possibly a new liver. But she has a never-ending source of optimism every single day … her memories of meeting Justin Bieber.
“I pause every day and think back to that day,” Kayla says, “and for a moment, I am happy.”
Justin, the 2011 recipient of the Make-A-Wish Foundation® Chris Greicius Celebrity Award for outstanding dedication to wish granting, shines as a Make-A-Wish® supporter. He’s grown from a new celebrity wish granter into an ardent and innovative philanthropist … and he’s tireless in encouraging fans to get involved.
There’s more to Justin’s support than attentive devotion to granting wishes. He encourages fans to get involved in his BELIEVE Charity Drive. He raises funds through sales of his fragrance SOMEDAY by Justin Bieber, available at Macy’s. His support makes it possible for the Foundation to grant wishes that are as diverse and imaginative as the children we serve.
Ardent, committed supporters like Justin bring the Foundation closer to granting the wish of every eligible child. He knows, as we do, that Make-A-Wish experiences make a lasting impact on each wish kid, their families, even their entire communities.
We thank Justin for 90 wishes granted and counting, for every fan who donates and for the funds raised from his initiatives!
