Proceeds from Cigar Nite will benefit the Metro Chapter which receives
the most requests for wishes. The Chapter processes all the wishes from
New York State except for Long Island & Queens. For over 27 years,
The Foundation, a 501(c )(3) not for profit organization, has been
dedicated to fulfilling the special wishes of children between three (3)
and seventeen (17) years of age who have been diagnosed as having a
terminal or life threatening illness. We have granted nearly 5,000
wishes and, sadly, the list of applicants keeps growing every year.
Our
goal is to rebuild our financial resources to enable us to bring back
the much needed 2nd wish program at the end of 2010 or early 2011.
These are the children whose medical options have been exhausted and
were just receiving palliative care. How heartbreaking that we were not
able to grant these children and their families a moment of happiness
just when it is greatly needed. Please help us realize our goal so that
these 2nd wish children are not turned away again because of funding
shortage. Think of these wish children by supporting Cigar Nite , any
of our fundraising events, making a general donation or sponsoring a
specific wish.
