Whether your team won or lost the big game yesterday, we all win when a wish is granted. That’s why we invite you to root for everyone’s favorite team: wish kids!

Make-A-Wish^® gets lots of sports-themed wish requests, and these are just a few of the football wishes we’ve been able to tackle with your help.

Sidelined by a brain tumor,
Stephen wished to protect his teammates.

When Stephen was struck by a seizure during football practice, it led to a brain tumor diagnosis and surgery. But his teammates stood by him, so he thought of them when he qualified for a wish. His wish for new helmets was a hit with the whole varsity team!

Landrey’s wish made every day a game day.

Landrey is fighting cystic fibrosis, which can damage the lungs and digestive system. But that hasn’t deterred him from his dream of playing pro football. Cut to his wish day: a football field in his own backyard, complete with artificial turf and real goal posts — all thanks to local businesses, volunteers and MVPs like you.

Keannu’s wish put him back on the field.

After Keannu’s vision failed during a high-school football game, this quarterback learned he had a brain tumor that required immediate surgery. When a stroke complicated his recovery further, he leaned into the joy of his wish: to play football again, courtesy of a revolutionary virtual reality platform that put him back in the game. Help grant more wishes like Keannu’s with a gift today.

With your donation, more kids fighting critical illnesses can see their wishes come true this year so please, be an MVP for wish kids today. Thank you again for all you have done — and all you continue to do — for wish kids.

Wishfully,
Make-A-Wish
