Staff
The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of the Mid-Atlantic is part of the nation’s largest and most well-established wish-granting organization, with chapters and volunteers throughout the U.S. and abroad. Our local staff is dedicated to granting the wishes of children with life threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy, and maintaining the Foundation’s grassroots fulfillment of its mission. The work of the Foundation is accomplished by a volunteer governing board of directors, a paid staff of dedicated employees, and hundreds of dedicated volunteers. Our chapter is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit incorporated in the Mid-Atlantic, dedicated to helping to share the power of a wish®.
