History About This Make-A-Wish Chapter
The Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia chapter has served almost 17,000 children in 57 Pennsylvania counties. They were the first chapter in the world to fulfill more than 700 wishes in one year. The most popular wish is a trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. Disney World is a great place to meet all of their favorite characters, 51% of them wish to meet Mickey Mouse. They are able to pay for wishes by funding. 47% of the funding comes from individuals, 38% came from corporations/foundations and trusts, 5% came from schools and Universities and last but not least 11% came from organizations and churches. Donations are what helps to make children’s wishes come true.
