Make-A-Wish Michigan, Dream Team 

Since 1984, Make-A-Wish Michigan has been creating life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Last year, Make-A-Wish Michigan granted 403 wishes to children in our communities.

By joining the Dream Team, YOU can help us grant the wish of every eligible child.

A recent impact study shows:

• 9 out of 10 wish parents said the wish experience helped relieve their family from traumatic stress.
• 8 out of 10 wish parents saw that their child’s wish gave them a stronger sense of empowerment.
• 8 out of 10 wish parents say a child’s wish experience serves as a coping mechanism during treatment.
• 9 out of 10 wish parents saw their child’s well-being improve with a wish.

A single wish costs approximately $10,000.  If every athlete were to fundraise/donate $7 we would be able to grant a wish for a local kiddo and help make their dreams come true!
