The beneficiary foundation

Make-A-Wish Canada

Make-A-Wish Canada allows critically ill children, aged 3 to 17, to experience a moment that goes beyond illness: meeting their idol, travelling, becoming someone they admire, or simply living something they never thought possible.

These wishes have a real impact. They bring light during times marked by treatments, hospital stays and uncertainty. They restore momentum where everything sometimes seems to have come to a halt.

Behind every wish there is a child, but also an entire family going through a period marked by waiting. Supporting the foundation means giving these families a moment that no treatment can replace.

What does
a wish look like?

Have something

25.4%

A piece of equipment, an object or an experience that unlocks a passion, video games, piano, a computer.

Meet someone

3.2%

See their favourite athlete, musician, YouTuber or sports team in person, the idol who keeps them going through treatment.

Become someone

0.9%

Step into the job they dream of doing one day, firefighter for a day, veterinarian, star chef.

Give back in turn

0.3%

Use their wish to help others, often a loved one or a cause close to their heart.
