Wishes impact everyone involved—wish kids, families, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals, and communities. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy. 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. Come share this special one-nite comedy event with us November 20, in support of Make-A-Wish® San Diego!
