Make-A-Wish Australia
Celebrating our 25th Year of granting Wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions, Make-A-Wish Australia is proud to be appointed as the Official Charity of the 2010 Clipsal500 Adelaide.
Make-A-Wish Australia's mission is to grant the Wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. From overseas holidays to backyard cubbies and cuddling armadillos, wishes are as varied as children's imaginations.
Wishes fall into one of four categories:
To meet... a favourite rock star, actor, sporting hero etc- To be....... a policeman, fairy princess, published author
- To have... a computer, dirt bike, shopping spree
- To go....... on a family holiday in Australia or overseas
Since inception, Make-A-Wish Australia has granted in excess of 5600 wishes. Make-A-Wish Australia is an Affiliate of Make-A-Wish International, which has a presence in over 30 countries.
Make-A-Wish Australia is sustained by a comprehensive network of volunteers, corporate and community supporters and grants hundreds of wishes each year.
By granting a cherished wish, we are able to bring a little bit of magic into the lives of children who, due to their illnesses, may be missing out on everyday school, sporting and entertainment activities. A wish provides precious memories for the whole family.
