Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

About us

Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has given hope, strength and joy to children with life-threatening medical conditions. From our humble beginnings with one boy’s wish to be a police officer, we’ve evolved into an organization that grants a child’s wish in the United States and its territories every 40 minutes. Our mission is simple: we grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Make-A-Wish Central and Northern Florida began in 1986 and has offices in Orlando and Jacksonville.

  • "He enjoyed sunsets in the evening right up at the shoreline. Gulf Marine Park was a pretty neat little place. He enjoyed watching the Sea Lion swim around and seeing and listening to the big variety of birds they had. Thankfully Wednesday night he slept really well and was ready to go for his pontoon day! You will definitely see how much he enjoyed his day on the water from the pictures I send. It was by far his favorite part of the trip! This was definitely a once in a lifetime kind of trip and our family will never forget the memories we made. Thank you again for everything!" -wish mom, Amy💙💙
