On October 8, 1982, A Wish Come True, Inc.
was founded as a non-profit 501(C)(3) organization, granting children between
the ages of 3 through 18 their most cherished wish.  The mission and goal
is to grant every medically qualified child “one memorable wish.”  A
Wish Come True, Inc. was the first organization of its kind in this area,
granting wishes to 12 children in the first year and now average approximately
a wish a week. The average cost of a wish is between
$5,000 to $7,000 depending on the wish, size of the family and if any special
medical equipment is needed. Granting over a wish per week, it is abundantly
clear there are a lot of generous, thoughtful people working together to ensure
every child who medically qualifies for a wish receives one.  With the
help of some very special people, using their exceptional fundraising talents,
no child has ever been denied for lack of funds.
