The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Northern Alberta

We grant the wishes of children with life threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy.

“to meet” wishes

Some children wish to meet someone very special - a celebrity who has been a hero, a role-model, a motivator, an inspiration through a very difficult time in their life. We have fulfilled recent wishes to meet Nick Jonas, Jackie Chan, Taylor Swift, and even Dora the Explorer!

Aurelius, 6, Brain Tumor  “I wish to meet the Fairly Odd Parents.”
