Mission: Make-A-Wish Colorado creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness. Founded as one of the first Make-A-Wish chapters in 1983, Make-A-Wish Colorado has granted over 5,500 wishes to children across the state of Colorado. When a wish is granted, a child replaces fear with confidence, sadness with joy and anxiety with hope. Learn more at colorado.wish.org. (Less)
