Welcome to the website of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Northeast New York.

We are excited to share with you the many aspects of our wonderful mission, including great stories about our Wish Kids and the people and events helping to make their wishes come true.  Working in cooperation with our National Office in Phoenix, Arizona, this website has been developed to be as informative and user-friendly as possible.  We welcome your feedback on how we can make it an even better communication tool about our mission, the referral process, the wish granting process, how to volunteer and how to support our Wish Kids.

With the granting of our 1,000th wish in June 2009, we thank you for helping us to be part of the medicine for the seriously ill children we serve in upstate New York.  Together, we will continue to bring hope, strength and joy to them and their families.

Gratefully,
William C. Trigg, III, Ph.D.
Chief Executive Officer
