If you could make one wish come true, what would it be? Established in 1980, Make-A-Wish is a nonprofit organization on a mission to grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Today, the organization has proudly granted more than 585,000 wishes worldwide, fostering hope and resilience in the lives of each child and their loved ones. Just west of downtown Milwaukee is the Make-A-Wish Wisconsin headquarters. The chapter was established in 1984 and has since become a community change-maker, granting upwards of 400 wishes annually. In October, Make-A-Wish Wisconsin granted its 9,000th wish, a memorable milestone for the chapter.
