The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Sacramento & Northeastern California is a charitable non-profit organization whose purpose is to grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.
National History
The Make-A-Wish Foundation® was inspired in 1980 by the love that family and friends had for a seven-year-old boy named Chris, who had leukemia. Chris dreamed of becoming a police officer for a day, and his family and friends in the state highway patrol made his wish come true - complete with his own helmet, goggles, badge and a regulation uniform tailored especially for him. Chris’ mother and those who helped to grant his wish created Make-A-Wish Foundation® in his memory, enabling his legacy to live on. Make-A-Wish Foundation® is the largest wish granting organization in the world. There are 69 Make-A-Wish Foundation® chapters nationwide.
Chapter History
The Sacramento & Northeastern California Chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation® was founded in 1983. Since that time, the Chapter has granted more than 2,600 wishes. While the Foundation follows the policies and guidelines of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, it operates as a separate 501 (c) 3 organization. All funds raised by the Foundation are used to fulfill our mission in the 24 Northeastern counties we serve.
