About
We grant one personal, heartfelt wish for every child in our territory between the ages of 2 1/2 and 18 years old who has a life-threatening medical condition, as determined by the child's own physician. In 2017, we granted 259 wishes for children within our territory - Arkansas, North Mississippi and West Tennessee. These wishes impacted over 1,000 people directly in our primary program - the wish child, their family, the wish granting volunteers, and the wish sponsors who participated in the unveiling of the wish. Total wishes granted for the fiscal year were $3,176,239. Of this amount, $645,681 was contributed by various vendors who provided in-kind contributions. Additionally, the chapter provided support to other chapters through the national wish fulfillment fund in an amount of $25,000.
