303-750-WISH (9474)

The mission of the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Colorado, Inc., is to grant wishes to
Colorado children between the ages of 2 1/2 and 18 years, with a terminal illness or who suffer
from a life-threatening medical condition. 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."
