Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
About us
Together, we create life-changing wish experiences for children with critical illnesses. Research shows children who have wishes granted build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. This improves their quality of life and produces better health outcomes. When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. Yet, not every child in our territory who is eligible for a wish receives one. With your help, we can change that. For more information please call 800.304.9474, visit akwa.wish.org or connect with us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram @MakeAWishAKWA.

⭐WISHES GRANTED!⭐ Have you ever wondered what it would be like to meet your favorite Seahawks or have a chance to experience the 12th man energy from the field on a game day? Well, these wish kids no longer have to guess because they lived it last week when their wishes to meet the Seattle Seahawks came true! 🏈 Thank you to our longtime partners at the Seattle Seahawks who went long for these wish kids and their families. From going through the player tunnel, to meeting some of their favorite players and coaches, to seeing their team play on game day... It was a week full of excitement, joy and community. 🎇 📸: Edwin Hooper with the Seattle Seahawks Make-A-Wish Oregon, Make-A-Wish Mississippi, Make-A-Wish® Central & South Texas

From the moment you check-in, the adventure begins. Whether it’s the cozy beds, the luxurious amenities, or the thrill of exploring a new city, hotels offer an escape from the everyday. That’s probably why 75-80% of our wish requests are for travel. Hotel lodging costs us over $550,000 annually, and we need your help! 🏨⭐ Join our lodging gift card drive to support Make-A-Wish locally by donating electronic or physical gift cards from Airbnb or Hotels.com. Email e-cards to [email protected] or mail physical cards to one of our offices, ATTN: Trina Cottingham. Learn more about our lodging gift card drive at https://lnkd.in/ddA5P2Cy

⭐HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!⭐ Happy SEVENTH anniversary to our Senior Manager, Medical Outreach & Strategic Initiatives, Austin! Austin's work is key in our wish referral process, how we identify children who are eligible for a wish. “My favorite part about working at Make-A-Wish is that every day, the whole point is joy. Everything we do is geared toward bringing joy to people who really need it, and you just don’t find that anywhere else. Make-A-Wish is so unique in that way.” Thank you, Austin, for all that you do to make more wishes possible for children in our community! Join us in celebrating Austin on his seven years with us!
