The true impact of a wish cannot be measured in dollars and cents. Yet, the Make-A-Wish Foundation relies on the generosity of individuals and corporate supporters to provide the funding and in-kind resources necessary to create an amazing wish experience for each and every wish child. Our pledge is to grant every eligible child's wish. With your help, the Make-A-Wish Foundation will continue to reach more of the special children we serve and grant their one favorite wish.

Elizabeth wished to swim with sharks and she did just that when she traveled with her family to the Bimini Biological Field Station in the Bahamas. There, Elizabeth was able to learn about Marine Biology, live as one of the Bimini scientists and of course, swim with sharks. Elizabeth's wish was sponsored by Metropolitan Veterinary Associates.
