Wishmakers On Campus

What is Wishmakers® On Campus?

Wishmakers® On Campus is a program which raises funds to help make wishes come true for children diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions. A trip to Disney World, a meeting with celebrity or a shopping spree is an exciting wish experience.

To participate in our Wishmakers® On Campus program, you can choose an activity from the following list of project ideas, or you can plan a project of your own. Some successful activities done by other local college organizations include dance marathons, co-ed soccer tournaments, and selling Make-A-Wish® cutouts or awareness wristbands. Once you have decided what project you would like to do, please complete the Wishmakers® On Campus Activity Form and submit it to us. It’s that easy. It’s best to do a Wishmakers® On Campus project with a group of friends, with an organization you are involved in on campus, with a fraternity or a sorority or with your dorm.
