Gifts that Deliver Joy and Benefit Kids with Critical Illness

(BPT) - When Stella, age 7, completed her cancer treatments, she wanted to celebrate. This called for more than just cake - she wanted a 'Stella-bration' with her friends, family and the incredible nurses and doctors that helped her during her cancer treatments.

Make-A-Wish® brought Stella's vision to life, creating a truly memorable celebration after months of grueling treatments. She wanted a carnival-themed party with games, pony rides and a competition where she would finally get to race her dad - a special family tradition that her dad told her could happen once she finished her initial round of treatments.

Life-changing wishes

This incredible celebration lived up to Stella's vision and then some - and she even won the race against her dad. This one-of-a-kind event was deeply meaningful for Stella and her family. After months of worry while navigating a difficult health diagnosis, they got to enjoy time together while their little girl's personality shined brightly for all to see.

Make-A-Wish is a nonprofit that creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses like Stella. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Make-A-Wish is the world's leading children's wish-granting organization, operating in every community in the United States and in nearly 50 countries worldwide.

Together with generous donors, supporters, staff and more than 24,000 volunteers across the U.S., Make-A-Wish delivers hope and joy to children and their families when they need it most. Make-A-Wish aims to bring the power of wishing to every child with a critical illness because wish experiences can help improve emotional and physical health. Since 1980, Make-A-Wish has granted more than 550,000 wishes worldwide; more than 350,000 wishes in the U.S. and its territories alone.

If you're planning your holiday gift-giving, you can embrace the spirit of the season by selecting gifts that provide the opportunity to give back. This sentiment is important in your personal holiday gift-giving but can be equally meaningful for corporate gifts.
