A big thank you to The Learning Experience for raising $2.4 million to help benefit Make-A-Wish! 💫 With your generous contributions, we’ve been able to grant wishes for children with critical illnesses across the nation. ✨ Thank you for your continued support and for making a difference in the lives of wish kids and their families!

From wishing to reality: meet the young entrepreneur and wish kid Coby! In February 2023, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. While he was in the hospital, Coby looked through magazines, dreaming of the perfect lawnmower to grow his lawn mowing business, Clark and Bros. Coby’s wish of owning a lawn mower has come to life with the help of our partners at Genentech 🤩 Each year, Genentech dedicates an entire week for their employees to donate and volunteer their time in support of thriving communities. We are so grateful for their support in helping make wishes a reality for kids like Coby.

Isaiah loves basketball, but his anxiety about potential seizures kept him from playing with his friends. His wish to have a basketball court in his backyard gave him a chance to build his confidence and reclaim control over his game. 👏 Join us this Mental Health Awareness Month in celebrating the positive impact that wishes have on the mental and emotional well-being of children with critical illnesses.
