Alison’s wish became wish #13,000.
But the next wish has not happened yet.

Since 1984, Make-A-Wish Michigan has granted 13,000 wishes because supporters found meaningful ways to give hope to children facing critical illnesses.
For some donors, that support comes through a donor-advised fund.
This DAF Day, we’re inviting supporters to help unlock the next wish by recommending a grant through their DAF.
As Phil Bocketti, Chair of the Board, reminds us, every gift helps move another child’s wish from possibility to reality.
🔑 Recommend a grant from your donor-advised fund and help unlock the next wish.

We've made giving easier than ever with our new DAF giving tool, allowing you to recommend a grant directly from your donor-advised fund in just a few clicks. To recommend your gift through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), click the donation link https://wish.org/michigan?form=022-000, then select "Donate with Other Methods" and choose DAFpay from the list of payment options.

Today is DAF Day!
One supporter who understands the power of generosity is Phil Bocketti, Board Chair of Make-A-Wish Michigan and a Private Wealth advisor.

If you have a Donor-Advised Fund, you can help bring hope, strength, and joy to children facing critical illnesses across Michigan.
A wish is more than a moment. It can help a child find something to look forward to during one of the most difficult times in their life.

A milestone worth celebrating.

This year, Make-A-Wish Michigan granted its 13,000th wish since the chapter began granting wishes in 1984.
That milestone wish belonged to Alison.
While we’re celebrating wish #13,000, this moment isn’t just about one wish. It’s about every child, family, volunteer, and donor who helped make those 13,000 wishes possible.
See Alison’s full wish video here:

Because every wish starts with someone choosing to make a difference. Every wish starts with a key.
🔑 You are that key.
🔑 Help us unlock the next one.

Our Under the Stars event had a picture perfect evening at Apple Valley Events at Sunset Ridge Saturday night! This event has been a cherished tradition for six years, born from the creativity and compassion of six friends who wanted to continue supporting Wish Kids during the challenges of COVID. What started as a fun and meaningful way to give back has grown into an annual celebration of hope. Check out our gallery: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjD61Dg

The Greenridge Realty Dream Team Foundation recently hosted its 13th Annual Dick Morton Memorial Golf Outing at Thornapple Pointe Golf Club, bringing together Greenridge Realty agents and staff, community partners, sponsors and supporters for a day of golf benefiting Make-A-Wish Michigan.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone involved, the event raised more than $30,000 for Make-A-Wish Michigan — which will go directly to funding wishes for Michigan children facing critical illnesses.

The Greenridge Dream Team Foundation was founded in 1999 by Greenridge Realty agents and staff with a mission of giving back to the communities they serve. Since then, Make-A-Wish Michigan has become a longtime partner and beneficiary of the Foundation’s fundraising efforts.

With the funds raised through this year’s golf outing, the Greenridge Dream Team Foundation will reach another exciting milestone: Wish 209!

We are incredibly grateful to the golfers, sponsors, volunteers, Greenridge agents and staff, and everyone who helped make this year’s outing such a success. Most importantly, we are proud to continue our partnership with Make-A-Wish Michigan and play a small part in bringing hope, joy and unforgettable experiences to wish kids and their families.
