2. MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION OF CANADA BY: EMILY GATTO

3. The Mission The mission of Make-A-Wish ® Canada is to grant the wishes of children with life- threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.

4. History/background Most kids wish for things like candy, video games and toys. But for 7-year- old Christopher James Greicius, all he wanted more than anything in the world was to become a police officer. You see, Chris had a life-threatening illness. Even still, protecting and saving the lives of others was all he hoped for. On April 29, 1980 Chris got the surprise of a lifetime. A U.S. Customs Officer, who had become a good friend of the family’s, arranged to take Chris on a helicopter ride around the city of Phoenix, Arizona. It was the most magical experience he ever had. And when Chris’ condition took a turn for the worse only a few days later, his true wish was fulfilled: he was presented with an official Arizona Highway Patrol uniform. Chris’s smile lit up the entire hospital room as his uniform hung by his window. Although he passed away a day later, this 7-year-old received the greatest gift of all – his wish was granted and he experienced hope, strength and joy during his battle with cancer. And even better, it served as the inspiration for the largest wish-granting organization in the world. Those officers who made Chris’s dream come true realized if they could grant one boy’s wish, then the same could be done for other children. And so, the Make-A-Wish Foundation ® was born.
