Rebecca Messina here. I’m a member of the Make-A-Wish® America Board of Directors and chair of the revenue committee. Our goal to grant more wishes for children with critical illnesses this World Wish Month™ is of the utmost importance to me, so I wanted to personally share some big news with you:

Because World Wish Month is one of the biggest fundraising moments of the entire year for our mission to grant as many life-changing wishes as possible, the Make-A-Wish America Board of Directors is matching all donations 10 TIMES – up to $405,000 – all so you can maximize your impact for kids in need of a wish.

Right now, thousands of kids with critical illnesses are waiting for the hope and strength that can only come from their most heartfelt wish coming true. As they go through some of the most difficult moments that anyone could experience, I’m counting on you to take full advantage of this chance to have your gift go ten times as far for them.

But time is running out before this 10X match expires when World Wish Month ends, so please don’t wait another minute: 

Will you join me in supporting Make-A-Wish today by donating to have your gift go TEN TIMES as far toward granting waiting wishes? This is your limited-time opportunity to make the biggest possible impact toward creating more turning points in children’s treatment and recovery journeys.

Thank you so much for all you do to change wish kids’ lives. Our mission wouldn’t be possible without caring, dedicated supporters like you.

Subject: Exciting news! (10X match)

My name is Connie Weaver, and I’m a member of the Make-A-Wish® America Board of Directors. I’m always so proud to serve on this board but especially during moments like World Wish Day®. And today, I’m reaching out about some exciting news. 

Until midnight tonight, the Make-A-Wish America Board of Directors is matching all donations 10 TIMES – up to $405,000 – to granting more life-changing wishes for kids growing up with critical illnesses.

As a member of the board, I know that a match this big (and this impactful!) is rare. And it only comes around during the most important fundraising moments of the entire year. 

So if you’ve been wondering when the best time might be to donate to help provide more kids with the kind of strength and hope that can only come from a wish, today is the day:

Please, before World Wish Day is over, join me in supporting Make-A-Wish with a gift today. Every dollar will go 10 TIMES as far toward granting more wishes – wishes that are proven to create better health outcomes and increased odds of overcoming an illness.

On behalf of everyone at Make-A-Wish, I want to share how grateful we are to you for making it possible for us to change lives through the power of a wish – on World Wish Day and every day.

Thank you,

Connie Weaver
Make-A-Wish America, Board of Directors
