A wish experience: inspires and compels Make-A-Wish® San Diego to be creative when granting wishes and exceed the expectations of every wish kid. A wish drives Make-A-Wish® San Diego to make donated resources go as far as possible. The founding principle of Make-A-Wish® San Diego’s vision is to grant the wish of every eligible child.
