About us
Make-A-Wish® Arizona is proud to be the state where Make-A-Wish®, the international 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was founded.

We continue to be trailblazers, with a goal to grant more wishes in Arizona for Arizona children with critical illnesses each fiscal year. We support the Make-A-Wish mission: Together, we create life-changing wishes for Arizona children with critical illnesses.

🌟 #FeelGoodFriday | Meet Beth Muehlhausen who has jumped in about 75 pools in the name of Make-A-Wish® Arizona! ⬇ A lot of us support causes with a check once a year or monthly contributions or by attending an event, but people like Muehlhausen find a way to inject just a little joy and anticipation into the practice. 💙 What started as a lark for her — to showcase a client’s backyard by going down a slide or taking a dip in the pool — became a tie-in to giving back. To celebrate the sale of a house, Muehlhausen would take a plunge into the pool and make a donation in the name of the homeseller and/or homebuyer. She welcomes others to do the same and #JumpForWishes, similar to the ALS ice bucket challenge that became viral online a decade ago. On July 30, Muehlhausen will cross off one of her bucket list wishes — to jump in the swimming pool at Chase Field, to raise awareness for the work of Make-A-Wish. “It’s just fun and different. And it’s me, because I’m really a child at heart,” said Muehlhausen. ☀ Read more about how Beth Muehlhausen is creating brighter days for wish kids this Summer of Wishes at https://lnkd.in/g7cVsdKs.
