About Make-A-Wish

Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We seek to bring the power of wishing to every eligible child because each step of the wish journey can help children build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their illness. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Make-A-Wish is the world's leading children's wish-granting organization, serving children in every community in the United States and in nearly 50 countries worldwide. Together, generous donors, supporters, staff and more than 30,000 volunteers across the U.S. unite to deliver hope to wish kids and their families when they need it most. Since 1980, Make-A-Wish has granted more than 500,000 wishes worldwide; more than 340,000 wishes in the U.S. and its territories alone. The Central & South Texas chapter was founded in 1985 and has since granted more than 5,000 wishes in its 40-county territory. To learn more, please visit www.wish.org/cstx .

Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas Diversity Statement

As a nonprofit whose mission is to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses, we are committed to ensuring every child, family member, volunteer, staff member, intern, and supporter that interacts with us can be their true and authentic self, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability, faith, religion, age, or any other aspect which makes them unique. We serve a diverse group of children and families, and we strive to make sure each feels seen, heard, and understood - not only through our own actions but by filling our organization with people from all walks of life. We not only welcome differences, we celebrate them. Every person involved in wish granting has a part to play to promote inclusion.
