The
Make-A-Wish Foundation of Australia creates
magic and hope. It does this by recognising
the importance for a child to be able to
dream.
For some children who may never live long
enough to fulfil their dreams, the Foundation
works tirelessly to ensure they become a
reality.
2007 marked the 22nd Anniversary of Make-A-Wish
in Australia. To date they have granted
over 5,000 wishes to children with life
threatening illnesses. This year, with your
support, they aim to grant a record 575
wishes.
The Foundation fulfils requests that are
as diverse as a child’s imagination.
Wishes fall within four categories:
I wish to go
…to Disneyland, the Gold Coast, to
the snow, etc
I wish to meet
…my favourite sports star, television
star, pop star, etc
I wish to have
…a computer, puppy dog, cubby house,
etc
I wish to be
…a fairy princess, police officer,
fire fighter, etc
With every wish, the Foundation aims to
create a world of magic. It’s a world
of make- believe, fantasies, miracles and
happiness. But most of all, it’s a
world where wishes really do come true.
We invite you to share the power of a wish
through the TOLL Charity Golf Day 2008.
