Make-A-Wish® Oregon wrapped up the 2015 fiscal year by granting 211 wishes. It’s the most wishes the chapter has granted in one year, and we couldn’t have done it without the support of volunteers, donors, medical professionals and advocates. Some unique wishes that you helped grant included Tristan’s wish for a working rail road crossing arm, Benny’s wish to go to a dude ranch and Lizz’s wish to be a research scientist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute. To celebrate the record-breaking milestone and a year of collaboration, the staff spent an afternoon showcasing the power of teamwork by dragon boating on the Willamette River. Thank you to everyone who supported Make-A-Wish Oregon throughout the year.

From wish child to wish granter |
|

 When Evan isn’t dressing up as a super hero at Make-A-Wish Oregon events, he’s volunteering as a wish granter. Like other volunteers, he’s dedicated, giving and selfless. Unlike most volunteers, however, he has a unique perspective because he received a wish from the chapter when he was 16 years old. Read more about what he's learned from both sides of the wish process and why he thinks a wish is like a Venn diagram.
