About Make-A-Wish Hawaii

Make-A-Wish Hawaii (MAWH) creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Research shows that children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their illness. Headquartered in Honolulu, MAWH is considered one of the top charities in the state, with every dollar raised in Hawaiʻi staying in Hawaiʻi to support local wishes.

In operation for more than 40 years and one of the first local chapters established, MAWH continues to be among the busiest Make-A-Wish chapters in the nation. Since 1982, generous donors, supporters, staff, and more than 400 volunteers have granted more than 1,700 wishes for local keiki across the state — and have welcomed more than 18,000 children from around the world who wished to visit the islands.
