Kids helping Kids
Kids love helping other kids, and they definitely love wishes, which makes fundraising for wishes a great fit for your school.
Make-A-Wish brings amazing people together to grant life-changing wishes for children, and we believe that every child deserves to wish for more than a life defined by critical illness.
Over the last 40 years, we’ve made unicorns fly, sent kids to the moon, but we need your help to grant even more life-changing wishes.

Host a School Art Show
Want to bring imagination and spark creativity in your classroom?
Bring your school community together through art and compassion by holding an IMAGINE Art Show.
Families and the wider school community are invited to attend the showcase, where student creativity is celebrated, and vital funds are raised to support children facing critical illness. Every brushstroke, collage and creative expression becomes a way to make a meaningful difference.
