Share the Power of a Wish® “I wish to...attend the Movie Premiere of Prince Caspian”

Thank you guys for making my wish come true. I think it was a hard one to make possible. It means a lot to me that people worked so hard to raise money and that people I don’t even know gave money to make my wish happen. Total strangers cared enough about me and my disease to send me to NYC to sightsee and go to a World Premier movie. It was kinda like I got to be Cinderella for a night. That wouldn’t have happened without Make A Wish and the love of total strangers. That makes me feel very special. I will never ever forget it and will always be beyond grateful. Thank you.

Our Chapter

Hope

The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of East Tennessee granted its first wish in 1988 and has granted over 700 wishes through the services of more than 120 volunteers. Any child 2½ and under the age of 18, who has been determined by a physician to have a life-threatening illness and has not been granted a previous wish, may be eligible. The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants wishes to all eligible children, regardless of race, religion, or socio-economic status. Granting a child’s one greatest wish inspires him or her to continue living with exuberance. We feel that the doctors provide the medicine, and we provide the magic!
