Mission

Founded in 1995, Adventures For Wish Kids enriches the lives of children with life threatening illnesses and their families by providing year round, fun-filled group activities and destination events, fostering joy, laughter, normalcy and supportive networking opportunities. All of our adventures are geared toward the whole family, including the siblings, so no one is excluded. Our adventures are unique opportunities to spend quality family time in a fun-filled group activity or destination event outside the hospital. Now, even when our children are sick and in the hospital, they have something to look forward to . . .the next great adventure!
