All his life, Christopher James Greicius

he couldn't know that his wish would be the
inspiration for the largest wish-granting
organization in the world.

officer granted in Phoenix, AZ. After Chris’
wish, those involved started Make-A-Wish®.

Wish Impact
Wish Impact Study
During 2010-2011, Make-A-Wish® America led a study that defined the effects of wishes on
the organizations “community” and, for the first time, provided quantitative measures of
the breadth and depth of the impact of the organization’s mission activities.
The valuable conclusions of the study can be organized into three major areas that the
wish process clearly appears to improve: health status, state of mind and community.
Health Status
State of Mind
