Make-A-Wish Minnesota’s mission is to create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. A wish is a gift that goes beyond any tangible value. It is the gift of being a kid again. A wish gives a child with a critical illness the opportunity to experience life beyond illness. A child’s critical illness affects an entire family – they face fears and setbacks together. A wish allows families to reconnect and heal, together. Wishes remind children that we cherish them and stand with them in their fight. When you grant wishes, you give kids with critical illnesses a piece of their childhood back.

Wounded Warrior Project is transforming the way America’s injured veterans are empowered, employed, and engaged in our communities. Since 2003 we’ve been tireless advocates for our Nation’s finest, improving the lives of over half a million warriors and their families.

Warriors never pay a penny for our programs – because they paid their dues on the battlefield. Our free services in mental health, career counseling, and long-term rehabilitative care change lives. We’re committed to helping injured veterans achieve their highest ambition. When they’re ready to start their next mission, we stand ready to serve.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. It is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted solely to children. Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20 percent to more than 80 percent since the hospital opened in 1962, and we won’t stop until no child dies from cancer.

St. Jude freely shares the discoveries it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children. Families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food—because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
