Make-A-Wish Central New York

Make-A-Wish Central New York is the local chapter of the national organization that grants wishes to children with critical illnesses. Based in East Syracuse, the nonprofit brings the group’s work to families across Central New York, helping kids and their parents look forward to something special.

A wish can mean a trip, a special experience or a chance to meet a hero, and it gives a child and family something to look forward to during hard times. Because the chapter is a nonprofit, it relies on volunteers, donors and local businesses to make each wish come true.
