Make a Wish Foundation

 

Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. The Foundation's mission reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish® experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors, sponsors and entire communities.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation was founded in 1980 after a little boy named Chris Greicius realized his heartfelt wish to become a police officer. Since its humble beginnings, the organization has blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon, reaching more than 250,000 children around the world.

Although it has become one of the world's most well-known charities, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has maintained the grassroots fulfillment of its mission.
A network of nearly 25,000 volunteers enable the Make-A-Wish Foundation to serve children with life-threatening medical conditions. Volunteers serve as wish granters, fundraisers, special events assistants and in numerous other capacities.

As the Foundation continues to mature, its mission will remain steadfast. Wish children of the past, present and future will have an opportunity to share the power of a wish®

Operation Hero Miles

 

Fisher House Foundation administers the “Hero Miles” program, a service that provides military members, their family and/or friends with complimentary round-trip airfare, sending them to the beside of our wounded, injured or ill service members recovering at military or VA medical center. Flights are made possible through frequent flyer mile donations made by individual airline passengers.

There are three categories of eligible recipients:

  •  Service men and women with approved leave may be given a free round-trip airline ticket for travel from the medical center to their home and return if they are not eligible for government funded airfare. 
  • Qualifying service men and women may be given free round-trip airline tickets to enable their family or close friends to visit them while they are being treated at the medical center.

The request for tickets ordinarily originates with the service member and is forwarded to Fisher House Foundation by the social work staff or family assistance center at a medical center, or through service casualty offices. Only under exceptional circumstances should family members contact Fisher House Foundation directly.

Fisher House Foundation administers the “Hero Miles” program for the Department of Defense, in accordance with Public Law 108-110, the FY 05 Defense Authorization Act.
