Mission Statement
The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. The Foundation believes that the fulfillment of a wish creates a magical moment for children, families, and everyone involved in a wish. Therefore, it is the Foundation's vision that people everywhere will share the power of a wish. The Tri-Counties chapter serves Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties in CA.
About This Cause
The chapter granted 86 local wishes in 2012-2013, exceeding our goal of 75 wishes. Ours is a carefully managed organization. We are continuously recognized within the Make-A-Wish enterprise as one of the top performing small chapters. In fact, we were recently recognized in front of our peers by Make-A-Wish America when we were awarded for Outstanding Wish Achievement 2013, Outstanding Fundraising Achievement 2013 and Benchmarks for Excellence Achievement 2013. We were one of only 4 chapters to receive all 3 awards. We receive a broad base of support from individuals, corporations, small businesses, family foundations, students, clubs and organizations throughout the tri-counties. Leveraging the operation we already have in place, we estimate $750,000 more in contributions would be required each year to meet the need of children in our territory. Funding this gap would allow us to reach twice as many children. It's a substantial number, but it is a finite number, and achievable through the generosity of people in our communities like you.
