In 1985 the Wishes for Kids was founded as Children’s Wish, a not-for-profit charity and is the longest running wish program in Central Florida. Wishes for Kids was created to provide hope and a once in a lifetime experience to children 2-18 years old fighting a life-threatening illness. Although the Wishes for Kids Program is not able to cure the life-threatening illnesses of their wish children, it is proud to grant wishes and go beyond the wish – offering support, family events, camps and community for these special families.
