CHILDREN'S WISH FOUNDATION

Since 2007, the Algonquin College Event Management program and Children’s Wish Foundation have been working in partnership towards a goal of raising $1 million.

As of fall 2013, the partnership, known as the "Creating Magic Program,"

has successfully raised over $550,000.

 

The Great Gatsby Gala is excited to be a part of this $1 million goal.

 

The Children’s Wish Foundation was established in 1984 and is a national non-profit organization. Each year, thousands of Canadian children between the ages of 3 and 17 are diagnosed life-threatening illnesses, and the Children’s Wish Foundation is

dedicated to granting an exceptional wish to every child.

 
Since its establishment, Children’s Wish  has granted more than 20,000 wishes and fulfills approximately one thousand wishes annually – granting nearly three wishes every day. Each wish is carefully structured to meet the needs of that particular child. 

The foundation has never refused a wish to an eligible child.
