Who We Are
Make-A-Wish Central New York is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to granting life-changing wishes for critically ill children throughout the central portion of New York State. Founded in 1985, our chapter is part of a global wish-granting organization focused on creating hope and strength for critically ill children and their families.
We are committed to granting the wish of every medically eligible child within our 15-county territory, which includes Broome, Cayuga, Chenango, Cortland, Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego, Otsego, St. Lawrence, Tioga and Tompkins counties.
With nearly 200 wishes in process, we need the support of generous community and corporate partners more than ever before.
What We Do
Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
When a wish comes true, it creates strength, hope and transformation in a child - and a community.
Research shows a wish can give kids the strength to fight against and even overcome a critical illness.
A wish renews hope, uplifts spirits and encourages the belief in the impossible.
A wish forever transforms the lives of children, their families and entire communities.
