Make-A-Wish®
May 2012

What is World Wish Day?®
World Wish Day celebrates the day that sparked a global wish-granting movement and has enabled more than 280,000 children worldwide to have their fondest wishes fulfilled by Make-A-Wish. Every 23 minutes, Make-A-Wish grants the wish of a child with a life-threatening medical condition somewhere in the world.
The wish that inspired the creation of the Make-A-Wish®
In 1980, Chris Greicius was a 7-year-old boy being treated for leukemia. Law enforcement officers heard about Chris’ wish to be a police officer and responded to the call. A police helicopter flew him to the Arizona Department of Public Safety headquarters for a tour, a ride in a patrol car and a ceremony making him the first (and only) honorary state patrolman in Arizona history. They also presented him a custom-tailored uniform, motorcycle helmet, campaign hat and the motorcycle wings he earned on his own battery-powered bike. Many of those responsible for fulfilling Chris’ wish wanted to do the same for other children with life-threatening medical conditions and founded Make-A-Wish.
To learn more about previously granted wishes, visit the Make-A-Wish Video page.
