Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana is celebrating 40 years of wishes.
It all started with a single wish. Seven-year-old Chris Gracious' wish wish changed his life... and the world.
Forty years and 20,000 wishes later, Chris's legacy lives through every wish we grant. Wishes that can be the turning point for a child in their fight against a critical illness, helping them replace fear with confidence, sadness with joy, and anxiety with hope.
These life-changing wishes wouldn't be possible without shining stars like you.
Grant a wish, and be a light of hope.
