Walk With Me. Wish With Me.

Walk For Wishes^® is a nationwide Make-A-Wish^® fundraiser that celebrates the more than 500,000 wishes that have already been granted, while raising funds for future wishes. It is a family-friendly event powered by wish families, volunteers, companies, donors and friends.
