The NYSE closing bell ceremony in New York City for World Wish Day® 2011. April 29, World Wish Day, honors the day when one boy's wish inspired the creation of the Make-A-Wish Foundation®. Since that day in 1980, the Foundation has granted more than 250,000 wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions around the world. Make-A-Wish® grants the wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition in the United States and its territories, on average, every 38 minutes. We believe that a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides us. It inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve.
