MISSION

Make-A-Wish Hawaii’s mission is that together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

KEY SERVICES PROVIDED

In 1982, Make-A-Wish planted its roots in our islands and in 1984 we granted our first local wish to a 10-year-old Hilo boy who wished to go to Disneyland. This was the start of something truly transformational in our community.

Wishes are the driving force behind all we do, because simply put, wish experiences transform lives. Our vision is to grant the wish of every eligible child. We believe that wishes change the odds for wish kids fighting critical illnesses. Wishes help kids look past their limitations, families overcome anxiety and entire communities experience joy.
