Application process
Call the office or visit the website for more information. Requests can be made by a parent, legal guardian, or a medical professional. The Make-A-Wish staff will contact the child's doctor to confirm that the child has a life-threatening medical condition and meets the medical criteria for a wish. Once a signed medical authorization form from the doctor is received, a volunteer wish team is assigned. The wish team then arranges a visit to the family.
Fees
No fee.
