Wear It Blue To Make Wishes Come True
29 April is one to mark in the calendar! Why? It's World Wish Day of course ⭐️ A day where wishes are celebrated across the world.
On World Wish Day, people from all across the globe come together to help grant wishes and provide hope and joy to children who are living with critical illnesses, their families and the community.
In the lead up, we’re spending the month of April celebrating the uplifting and positive impact of a wish on everyone involved – well beyond the wish itself. And we would love you to join in.
Celebrate with us this year by sharing our stories of impact, donating to help make more wishes come true across Australia, or by hosting your own 'Wear It Blue' fundraiser event on 29 April. Find out more below ⬇️

Celebrating our inspiring wishes this World Wish Day
We don't talk about Audrey’s heart all the time, but it's always in the back of our minds, and to experience the kindness of strangers at this magnitude, is truly overwhelming.

How it all started
In 1980, our friends at Make-A-Wish America granted the very first wish for 7 year old Chris Greicius – sparking what's since become the global wish-granting movement we know and love today.
On 29 April, Make-A-Wish all over the world celebrates World Wish Day. Did you know?
- More than 585,000 extraordinary wishes have been granted globally.
- At Make-A-Wish Australia, we're celebrating 39 years of wish granting and over 10,000 incredible wishes.
- Wishes only come true thanks to the support from people like you.
