Welcome! Make-A-Wish is proud to be a charity partner of the TCS New York City Marathon! Since 2018, dedicated members of Team Make-A-Wish have been adding more meaning to their miles by being a part of a powerful community running to make wishes come true.

No matter the circumstances, every child deserves a childhood. Life-changing wishes wouldn't happen without the power of donors like you. Your support gives children much-needed hope for brighter days ahead.

When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy, and anxiety with hope. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness.

We have been granting wishes to kids with critical illness since 1980– that’s over 40 years of keeping our promises to kids and families. To date, Make-A-Wish Metro and Western New York have granted over 17,000 wishes to children in the five boroughs of New York City, Long Island, and 17 counties in the Buffalo and Rochester areas!

Hope is essential for children with critical illnesses, and you can unlock its life-changing power today. Please help by donating today to make wishes come true.
