The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in the United States that helps fulfill the wishes of seriously ill children.[2] Make-A-Wish was founded in 1980[3] and is headquartered in Phoenix.[2] The organization operates through its 59 chapters located throughout the United States. Make-A-Wish also operates in about 50 other countries through 39 international affiliates.[4] Professional wrestler John Cena holds the title for the most wishes granted by a single individual, at over 650 wishes.[5][6]
Make-A-Wish stopped granting wishes involving hunting-related activities, including fishing, use of firearms or other weapons that are designed to cause animal injury in 1996. This was largely due to concerns over child safety, pressure from animal-sensitive donors, and criticism from animal rights groups.[7] In response, three organizations were formed: Hunt of a Lifetime, which arranges hunting trips for terminally ill children;[8] Catch-a-Dream,[9] which was conceived by Mississippi outdoorsman Bruce Brady and formed by his loved ones following Brady's death from cancer to grant hunting experiences to ill children; and Life Hunts, founded by the Buckmasters American Deer Foundation.
