Make-A-Wish Eastern North Carolina Information

Make-A-Wish® Eastern North Carolina creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We seek to bring every eligible child's wish to life because a wish is an integral part of a child's treatment journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. Headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, Make-A-Wish Eastern North Carolina, serves all medically eligible children who reside in the 49 counties east of the Orange/Alamance county line. Together, generous donors, supporters, staff and more than 350 volunteers across eastern North Carolina, grant a wish more than every other day, on average, across its region. Make-A-Wish Eastern North Carolina has granted more than 3,600 wishes; more than 1,000 in the last five years alone. Today we have nearly 300 children waiting for their wish and the resources to bring these wishes to reality are limited. The need for funding is more urgent than ever.
