What is the purpose of World Wish Day?
World Wish Day is a day made to honor the wishes granted over the previous year and recognize how the Make-A-Wish family has expanded over the years. Make-A-Wish believes every eligible child deserves to have their wish granted. Illnesses in a child’s early life can prevent them from living like a normal child so Make-A-Wish helps them live their wish to the fullest.
This cause has brought joy to countless wish kids and their families and momentarily helped them forget their routine life and enjoy seeing their child living their happiest moments.
When is World Wish day?
World Wish Day is celebrated every year on the 29th of April. It was first celebrated in 2010, which marked the 30th anniversary of Chris Greicius’s wish being granted. Chris’ wish set the footstone for Make-A-Wish. He was living with leukemia but lived every day of his life to the fullest. His approach to life inspired this movement that changed hundreds of other lives for the better. Today, over 550,000 kids have had their wishes granted.
Every granted wish has created new hope for the families and aided in the healing process of these wish kids.
The day serves as a milestone for Make-A-Wish to keep track of its achievements every year. Every year, the more our program expands, the more joy we bring to families.
