DECEMBER 2014

Celebrate the Season of Wishes 

 

VIDEO: Maya, 5, leukemia, got her wish to be a ballerina

 

When Maya was just two years old, she was diagnosed with leukemia.

Thanks to Make-A-Wish supporters like you, Maya's wish to be a ballerina came true with a trip to see the Nutcracker performed by the National Ballet of Canada.

The holiday season is a time for giving and celebrating. At Make-A-Wish, we celebrate the Season of Wishes.

Through the month of December, various events, corporate promotions and wish granting activities are taking place across the country.

There are many magical ways you can support our wish granting efforts in Eastern Ontario during the Season of Wishes.

Please visit our Season of Wishes page to find out how you can get involved.

This holiday season, please give the gift of joy.

You can help children like Maya in your community by supporting
Make-A-Wish's magical mission.
