The wish must truly be the child's own, with his/her doctor and family agreeing it is a good idea. Financial need or status is not a factor, nor is the cost of the wish. We do not grant wishes involving weapons or hunting and we do not grant international travel wishes. Whether referring to wish children and their families, the Board of Directors, or staff, we encourage diversity and remain committed to the principle of equal opportunity for all persons without regard to age, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, national origin, socio-economic status, sexual preference or disability. This non-discrimination statement is incorporated as part of our bylaws and remains the cornerstone of our board. Established in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation®is now the nation's largest and strongest wish-granting charity, with chapters across the United States and internationally and supported by over 8,000 volunteers, 300 right here in Colorado. Each chapter is working for the sole purpose of granting the special wishes of qualifying children in their service area. These courageous youngsters and their families must live on a daily basis with the reality of a serious disease and its emotional, physical, and often financial impact on the entire family. We work to provide a completely carefree escape from this reality into a world where dreams still do come true. Some of our Wish families claim that with the doctors providing the medicine and Make-A-Wish Foundation®providing the magic, miracles can happen! The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Colorado was established in 1983 after the death of seven-year-old Jennifer Mazak from liver disease. Although Jennifer did not have a formal wish, she wanted to see the KIMN Chicken. When the KIMN Chicken was told of Jennifer's wish, he came to visit at her home. While Jennifer's appearance prompted gibes and stares from the other neighborhood children, she was the envy of them all when the KIMN Chicken hugged and held her and lavished attention on her. The Colorado chapter is located in Denver and serves the entire state. We will have turned dreams into reality for over 1,200 children in 1999, from Grand Junction to Burlington, from Fort Collins to Trinidad and everywhere in between. Accomplishing our goals requires a tremendous amount of volunteer effort and financial support. We are involved in year-round fundraising and publicity efforts to ensure that as many eligible Colorado children as possible know about Make-A-Wish S. All funds raised in Colorado are used in Colorado. Of every dollar donated, approximately $.83 goes directly to wish granting. 000690 Page Two The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Colorado is not a United Way Agency. We do not receive government funding and we do not solicit through telemarketing. We rely on the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations to ensure that wishes will continue to be granted as long as there are children who qualify. In 1998, Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Colorado granted over 130 wishes to children from all over the state. Wishes can range in cost from as little as $300 to as much as $10,000 or more. However, the average combined cash and in-kind cost of a wish is approximately $6,000 and can range from a simple shopping spree, to a new bedroom, to meeting a popular athlete or a Hollywood star, to a computer or a trip to Disney World or Hawaii. Because the granting of wishes includes the child's entire family, approximately 450-600 people are touched each year. Over 54% of wishes are for trips to Disney World regardless of the age of the child. The impact of the lives of these Wish children has been tremendous. We have been told numerous times by the families of Wish children that the realization that special wishes can come true has made a difference in a child's attitudes, their family's lives, and even the child's long-term health. • Childhood should be carefree and fun. Full of adventure. A time to dream. But for some children, life is complicated, uncomfortable, painful and frightening. Each year, the lives of thousands of children across the nation and their families are shattered by cancer, head disease, muscular dystrophy and other life-threatening illnesses. Their days are filled with doctors, hospitals, and shots. These children are asked to face medical treatments and prognoses that are far removed from the wonder of normal childhood. A fulfilled wish can replenish a child's faith in the basic wholeness and goodness of the world. It lifts them up and carries them away to a place where dreams still do come true. It brings the magic back, and with it...hope — as valuable a treatment as any medicine in the world. Perhaps young Justin expressed it best when he wrote us: "Whenever I felt like quitting, l just remembered by wish, swimming with the dolphins, and that made things a lot more bearable for me and my family." • For more information, please call Rebecca Russell, Director of Development, at 303-750-9474. f . , S�$0 rtr P 387 4'71 860 RECEIPT FOR CERTIFIED MAIL NO INSURANCE COVERAGE PROVIDED NOT FOR INTERNATIONAL MAIL (See Reverse) t— f Set lY... _ er Street And No n p r) self and LIP Code G (.c 74 Poetagry I,ert'1' 'F,0 'Lee(.es 110 Ivory 11'e J lu ll lan=d 'Jul very Fee Retu:n Flu elpt showing. _...._ I)whom and Rate Perm Aed m __._.. . _____. q Return Fier elpl showing to whom.
