Title
Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Maine
Description
The Make-A-Wish Foundation began on April 29, 1980, when officers of the Arizona Department of Public Safety granted the wish of 7-year-old Chris, who was living with leukemia, to be a police officer for a short time. The power of that wish in his life provided the inspiration for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Today, there are 75 chapters across the US, and 27 international affiliates.
The Maine Chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation opened in 1992. Founded by Wayne and Caroline Morong, in Camden, the Maine chapter has grown to serve children in each of Maine's 16 counties. In April, 2004, we celebrated the granting of our 500th wish. This year, the Foundation expects to grant the greatest wish of over 75 seriously ill Maine children, which is an average of one wish every five days.
The average cost of a wish is $5000. All wish expenses are fully covered, including travel and spending money. Our objective is to provide the child and family with a worry-free experience.
