Mission
The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts grants wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions between the ages of 2½ and 18 to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. Every year, over 400 Massachusetts children are newly diagnosed with a serious illness and newly eligible for a wish. Our ultimate goal is to grant wishes for every medically eligible child in Massachusetts. The joy began in 1987, when the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts fulfilled its very first wish. Since that first inspired wish, we have served over 3,600 seriously ill children throughout the Commonwealth, from the Berkshires to the tip of Cape Cod. We have grown from granting a single wish in our first year to serving over 325 children annually.
