Assist us in achieving our mission to grant as many wishes as we can for our local children with life-threatening illnesses in the Ohio Valley. All of our volunteers are local Ohio Valley residents and there are many opportunities at A Special Wish, and ALL of them are vital to supporting our mission. Remember, time is especially precious to the children and families we serve.
Volunteers are the backbone of our organization. There are many opportunities at A Special Wish, and ALL of them are vital to supporting our program and helping us grant wishes.
No matter what the role, our volunteers make a long lasting impact on the lives of the families we grant the wishes for.
Make a life changing impact on a child's life by directly sponsoring their Special Wish. You have the ability to single handedly change the life of a child suffering from a life-threatening illness and enable them to gather some lasting memories to cherish in the future.
Whenever possible, immediate family members are included in the granting of wishes, to maximize the joy and memories for the child. A Special Wish Foundation offers their services to all qualifying children, and does not discriminate based on race, gender, nationality, or ethnicity.
Learn MoreWe are locally operated and funded entirely through the generosity of Ohio Valley residents, businesses, and organizations. No matter how big or small, we treat every donation with extreme financial care. Without you none of this would be possible.
All contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by the Internal Revenue Service.
We encourage donors to consider consulting their finacial planner, attorney, accountant or insurance agent about arranging a planned gift to benefit A Special Wish Foundation. A memorial gift can be arranged in your will, the same way you would bequest a personal gift form your estate. There are also charitable trusts you can arrange in order to donate the trust's income while recieving tax benefits. Your financial advisor can make sure you are receiving the maximum tax and legal advantages allowed in your gift.
Learn MoreWhether it is a birthday, wedding, anniversary, graduation, or one of the many other special occasions we celebrate - there seems to always be a time to give a gift to someone. This year, give the gift of A Special Wish by making a donation in their name! It's the perfect gift. We will notify them of your thoughtfulness.
