Walk for Wishes Committee
Walk For Wishes is a nationwide Make-A-Wish fundraiser that celebrates the more than 500,000 wishes that have already been granted, while raising funds for future wishes. It is a family-friendly event powered by wish families, volunteers, companies, donors and friends.
By participating in the Illinois Walk for Wishes held throughout the state, you can help bring the life-changing impact of a wish to children in your community who are battling critical illnesses.
Walk for Wishes committee members are a leadership volunteer role that serve as an ambassador to the foundation. Committee responsibilities include participation in committee meetings, solicitation of donations, and promoting the mission of Make-A-Wish in the community to ensure the success of the annual Walk for Wishes.
