Statements & Search Criteria Mission We grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Background In 1980, Chris Greicius was a 7-year-old boy being treated for leukemia. Whenever he saw a police officer, he saw everything he wanted to be. Law enforcement officers heard about Chris wish to be a police officer and responded to the call. A police helicopter flew him to headquarters for a tour, a ride in a patrol car and a ceremony making him the first-ever honorary state patrolman in Arizona history. They also presented him a custom-tailored uniform, motorcycle helmet, campaign hat and the motorcycle wings he earned on his own battery-powered bike. Many of those responsible for fulfilling Chris wish wanted to do the same for other children with life-threatening medical conditions and founded the Make-A-Wish Foundation in November 1980. Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Virginia is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has been granting wishes since August 1987. Through fundraising and donor support, the Greater Virginia Chapter has been able to grant the wishes of over 4,700 children since its establishment. Impact Achievements: A recent Brand Impact Study found that 99% of wish parents indicate that the wish experience increases feelings of joy and happiness in the wish child and 97% perceive that the wish improved their mental and emotional health. Make-A-Wish is truly a grassroots volunteer reliant organization. There are currently over 400 volunteers across Virginia supporting our mission and vision. The majority of these volunteers are trained as "wish granters" to work directly with the wish children and their families to help in granting wishes. FY17 Goals: Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia is celebrating its 30th year of granting wishes for local children who have lifethreatening medical conditions. In these 30 years we have granted over 4,600 children's wishes. To celebrate these achievements, we will: We will grant 185 magical wishes across the Commonwealth, including our plan to grant 30 children's wishes in 30 days in August 2017. Continue to empower and engage volunteers as powerful ambassadors of our mission. Share the power of a wish through raising awareness of local wish stories across Virginia.
