Mission
Founded in 1983, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Sacramento and Northeastern California helps a child and a family to navigate the stresses of a serious illness by fulfilling one personal, heartfelt wish for the child. The Foundation gives the child a magical, once-in-a-lifetime gift or experience - an interlude of respite and delight in the midst of hospitalizations and treatment schedules, physical limitations, and the fear and disappointments of a life-threatening illness. Since its founding, this Chapter has granted more than 2,600 wishes, and all funds raised by the Foundation are used to fulfill our mission in the 24 Northeastern counties we serve.
