Make-A-Wish Oregon

We are celebrating a record-breaking year at Make-A-Wish Oregon! 🎉 Thanks to your incredible generosity, we were able to grant 285 wishes during the past fiscal year that just ended in August! That’s the most wishes we’ve ever granted in one year since our chapter was formed in 1983. We could not do it without your steadfast support. 💙 THANK YOU!

We are blown away by the incredible support of golfers in Southern Oregon! ⛳️ Since 2014, Gold Dust and Walker Farms has held an annual golf tournament to make wishes come true. This year they raised $75,000 and counting that will go toward life-changing wishes! 🌟👏 We are grateful for you!

🤩WISH GRANTED!🤩 Simon’s family says, “This was a perfect wish!” 🌟 The local 6-year-old cancer survivor loved meeting Mickey at Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa and told his family he couldn’t believe Mickey and his friends were on vacation, too! 😊✨ Simon’s wish was truly a healing experience after his family was separated during his treatment across the country. It allowed him to just be a happy kid with his brothers. “This was about as opposite a hospital as you could get. I love that he will have these happy memories to (if not erase, at least) balance out all the time we spent during surgery recovery, chemo treatment and everything else,” said Wish Mom Jodi. 💙 Thank you to Simon’s incredible wish granting team and to Lithia Subaru of Oregon City for making it all possible! #WishGranted #MakeAWish #MakeAWishOregon #ORWish

Talk about going the distance for wish kids! 🏃♀️🏃♂️ #TEAMPHLY took on a heartfelt mission to grant a local child’s wish and entered the Hood to Coast Relay. 🏔️🌊 12 employees from Philadelphia Insurance Companies completed the 196-mile relay last month and not only raised enough to grant a wish – they surpassed their goal and raised $15,000 for local wish kids! 🙌 Thank you for your dedication to turn life-changing dreams into reality!

In just 31 days, you helped us grant 35 magical wishes! 🙌🌟Thank you for helping create so many unforgettable moments in August. Because of your generosity, we wrapped up the summer with a record-breaking number wishes granted for children across Oregon and SW Washington! #WishesGranted #MakeAWish #MakeAWishOregon #ORWish #SummerofWishes

✨ WISH GRANTED! ✨ Emma wanted to go back to school in style after an unimaginable cancer fight. 🛍️✏️🎒 The local 12-year-old wished for a special shopping spree before her first day of class. Emma was treated like a star at each stop, with her hands firmly on the cart and a smile steady on her face. She said she was pretty happy and excited about all the clothes, shoes, jewelry, games and more she was able to collect. ✨ This #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth, you can help create excitement like Emma’s for other local children.
