Make-A-Wish Oregon
Together, we create life-changing wish experiences for children battling critical illnesses. When you donate, you can help bring a child's imagination to life.
Our mission is to create life-changing wishes for children battling critical illnesses. We are on a quest to grant the wish of every eligible child living in Oregon and Southwest Washington. Since it was established in 1983, The Oregon Chapter of Make-A-Wish has granted more than 4,400 wishes to local children in our community. Research shows a wish can give kids the strength to fight against and even overcome a critical illness. A wish renews hope, uplifts spirits, and encourages the belief in the impossible. A wish forever transforms the lives of children, their families, and entire communities. It's through the strength of our great community that Make-A-Wish can continue granting wishes. As a 501(c)(3) organization, we rely solely on public donations to move our mission forward. To donate or learn more about our mission visit: www.oregon.wish.org

Wish granted! 💙✨👟
Brodie dreamed of visiting Nike HQ to design a shoe that would help raise awareness about his medical condition.
His day started out with a warm welcome from the Nike team, which kicked off a day filled with behind-the-scenes experiences, creativity, and plenty of shoe talk. Brodie got to bring his design to life and see his idea go from something in his head to something he could wear on his feet. This wish was about more than shoes, it was an opportunity to help others understand his story.
To keep this wish trip excitement going, Brodie and his family also cheered on the University of Oregon Ducks at Autzen Stadium, making even more memories together. 🏈💚💛
A huge thank-you to everyone at Nike for going above and beyond to make Brodie feel so welcomed, supporting his vision, and creating such an unforgettable wish experience. 💫

Thanks to our friends at Vivid Seats, Lucas and his family had a treasure of a night at a Bruno Mars concert. While singing and dancing the night away from their floor-level seats, they took in every moment and made memories they’ll never forget.
When asked what stood out most from the trip, Lucas' aunt said it was “the pure joy Lucas experienced during the concert.”
Seeing Lucas' wish come true? That’s what we like! 💙🎤⭐
