With the help of generous donors and more than 25,000 volunteers, the Make-A-Wish Foundation grants a wish every 40 minutes and has granted more than 161,000 wishes in the U.S. since inception.

The Central & South Texas chapter has granted more than 2,500 wishes since it was founded in 1984. During fiscal year 2007, our volunteers and donors made it possible for 195 children in our area to experience the magic of a wish. Children from 40 counties in the central and southern regions of Texas benefit from the efforts of this chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Each day, the Make-A-Wish Foundation receives hundreds of inquiries regarding chain letters claiming to be associated with the Foundation. These requests are not legitimate. For more information, visit the national website.
