Wishes have proven physical and emotional benefits that can give children with critical illnesses a higher chance of survival.

And wishes not only help these children – they also have far-reaching, positive impacts on their families and communities.

The process is fast, free, and 100% tax-deductible!

We're investing in our people! 💙

Recently, the Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia team participated in a strengths-based development training led by our incredible partners at Genworth | CareScout.

We are deeply grateful to Genworth | CareScout for their generosity, leadership, and ongoing commitment to our mission. Their support goes beyond making wishes come true, helping us grow stronger as a team so we can continue creating life-changing wishes across Greater Virginia.

Thank you, Genworth | CareScout, for investing in our people and helping us build on our strengths every day. 🌟
