Make Wishes Come True
It started with a boy whose fondest wish was to be a police officer. His wish inspired caring volunteers to grant the heartfelt wishes of other children facing life-threatening medical conditions, such as to be a ballerina or meet a famous actor. Now, more than 150,000 wishes later, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® is still turning children's wishes into reality.

SHOP.COM is proud to announce our Wish Supporter program in conjunction with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a charity whose mission is to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.
