At Make-A-Wish® Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia, we are more than a great place to work – our work is life-changing. We are an inclusive and diverse group of people who, through a mosaic of backgrounds, thoughts and experiences, are united in purposeful work. We are fueled and guided by our values – values that are represented in the inspired people we work with and the transformational work we do, every day.
Make-A-Wish Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia was founded in May 1983 in Pittsburgh, PA. Our first wish child, Bryan, a seven-year-old cancer patient, wanted to visit his favorite uncle in Texas for one of his famous piggy-back rides. Since then, and together with our volunteers, donors, staff and supporters, we have granted more than 20,000 life-changing wishes throughout PA and WV.
The local chapter includes 57 counties in western, central and northeastern Pennsylvania and all of West Virginia. We are headquartered in Pittsburgh and have seven regional offices in Erie, Pottsville, Punxsutawney, Scranton and York, PA, as well as in Charleston and Morgantown, WV.
There is nothing more powerful than making a child’s wish come true. And at Make-A-Wish, we will stop at nothing to ensure every eligible child received a life-changing wish. We believe – and research shows – that a wish gives kids the resilience, courage and strength they need to fight their critical illnesses. A wish doesn’t signify an end or one happy moment in time … a wish truly has the power to transform lives. This is why wishes matter. This is Make-A-Wish.
Mission: Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
