2. Tell your friends. Share your page and raise funds to support critically ill kids. 

3. Celebrate Hallowish in style. The more households that join in, kids that get involved and spook their school, and friends that join your party - the bigger the impact you can have  to help grant wishes for sick kids. 

We're here to help you this Hallowish

A young child is dressed in a Halloween costume with black bat wings on their head and face paint, including a spider web design over one eye. The child is smiling widely, showing excitement, and holding a blue pumpkin-shaped bucket for trick-or-treating. Below the child, bold dripping text reads 'SPOOK YOUR STREET,' adding to the Halloween theme.

Join in the fun by displaying a sign outside your house to say you’re supporting Make-A-Wish this Halloween.

Encourage your community to ‘Tap N Treat’ while they ‘trick and treat’ and donate to help make more spooktackular wishes come true!

Join in for sick kids like Aroha

In 2016 Aroha’s Halloween plans were interrupted when she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia at just six years old. Her treatment started right away.

That Halloween, Aroha traded her costume for a hospital gown, and started her first round of chemotherapy. Chemo was tough for Aroha, but she was determined to be a supportive presence for everyone around her. 

Last year Aroha's wish for a spooky halloween carnival was granted, thanks to the support of generous people like you. This Halloween you can make a difference to critically ill kids like Aroha by helping to make more wishes come true. 

Wish kid Aroha is dressed in a colourful Halloween-themed costume with red makeup resembling doll-like cheeks, black stitches painted on her forehead, and bright red lipstick. She wears a headband with the word 'BOO' on top, enhancing the festive look. The background features a blurred crowd of people, some in Halloween costumes. The scene seems to be at an outdoor event, likely a Halloween gathering, with trees and greenery visible.

Testimonials

Neutral Bay Public School 

Neutral Bay Public School were proud to participate in the Hallowish fundraiser this year. This was a great initiative from the Make A Wish foundation that brought the whole school community together to raise funds to grant wishes to critically ill children. The students had a lot of fun wearing their Halloween costume to school. At the same time, the classroom resources and videos from the website helped the kids understand the need to support children of a similar age who are facing significant challenges with their health. We will certainly stay committed to this wonderful fundraiser moving forward. 

Bushmans Rest Caravan Park 

It was such a fulfilling experience to be involved in Hallowish this year. Something that started off as a bit of fun ended up being one of my favourite events we have run this year. It was amazing watching so many kids and adults get dressed up and into the spirit of Halloween, with the added bonus of them doing something nice for someone else. Make-A-Wish is always a pleasure to deal with and Hallowish is an event that we will now run permanently on our events roster in the coming years. Bigger and better. We are so lucky to have been able to be apart of something so special.
