Every 35 minutes Make-A-Wish^® grants the wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition in the United States and its territories. We believe that a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides us in everything we do. It inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve.

Make-A-Wish^® Central & Western North Carolina covers 51 counties from Burlington to the west. Our chapter has granted more than 4,000 wishes since its inception in 1985 and has never turned down an eligible wish.

Make-A-Wish^®Eastern North Carolina has one purpose- to grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions between the ages from of 2 ½ - 18. Our chapter covers the 49 counties in eastern North Carolina from the Alamance/Orange county line to the coast. Since our founding in 1986, we have granted more than 2,900 wishes and counting.

President Ross Hailey has a heart for children in particular those in need. Our goal is to raise $33,000 in honor of it being the 33^rd Annual SEANC Convention in order for the two North Carolina chapters of Make-A-Wish Foundation spit.

Please join President Hailey in putting a smile on a deserving child’s face by donating to Make-A-Wish Foundation so they may be able to grant many wishes and change lives!
