As a member of our fundraising team, I care deeply about our mission to grant more wishes that can lift kids up on their darkest days, and I know what resources our teams need to make wishes come true. Because you’re reading this, I know you care deeply about this mission, too. That’s why I’m personally reaching out to you today. 

You’re exactly the kind of person we’re counting on to become a WishMaker® before the end of World Wish Month™ on Tuesday – someone who is powered by compassion and commitment to a cause that’s bigger than yourself.

Now, you might be wondering: What is a WishMaker®? It’s anyone who takes action for wish kids. And today, you have the opportunity to take a profoundly impactful action: When you donate before midnight, our generous partners at Vivid Seats will MATCH every dollar, up to $250,000, through their charitable foundation, Vivid Cheers.

So please, to DOUBLE your impact on the lives of kids facing critical illness this World Wish Month, will you donate now to help us grant more life-changing wishes?

This is a rare chance to have your gift go twice as far for kids like Luke, who was diagnosed with cancer at just 4 years old. During his year-long medical journey that was filled with chemotherapy, surgery, radiation and immunotherapy, Luke’s parents would take him to the nearby coastline. He loves the ocean, so these visits always brought him peace.

When the time came to make his wish, Luke longed to go to a beach he had never visited before. So that’s exactly what he did on his wish day. It was an experience spent soaking in the sand and surf, riding jet skis and even catching a beach sunrise. But most importantly, it was an experience filled with peace, laughter and joy for a kid who had already gone through more challenges than any kid should ever have to.

But in the next 20 minutes, another kid like Luke will receive a critical diagnosis. And 20 minutes later, another. Making those wishes come true won’t be possible without WishMakers like you. That’s why it’s so important for you to take advantage of this match opportunity – because kids are waiting.

Please make a gift now to have every dollar DOUBLED by Vivid Seats through their charitable foundation, Vivid Cheers, up to $250,000 – all toward granting more wishes for kids like Luke.

Thank you so much for doing what it takes to make wishes come true.
