About The Make-A-Wish Foundation(R) The Make-A-Wish Foundation(R) began in 1980 with the fulfillment of the wish of a seven-year old boy with Leukemia who wanted to be a policeman. Officers from the Arizona Department of Public Safety granted his wish with a custom-made uniform, a helmet, a badge and even a helicopter ride! That one child's delight in having his wish fulfilled provided the inspiration for the Foundation. Today, Make-A-Wish is the largest wish granting organization in the world with 67 chapters in the US and 30 affiliates across 5 continents. The Southern Florida chapter was started in 1983 by the Plantation Junior Woman's Club. In the nearly 25 years since, there has been a tremendous increase in the demand for wishes. The Southern Florida chapter has grown from granting 2 wishes in 1983 to granting 514 wishes in fiscal year 2007. Today it serves the children of Broward, Collier, Glades, Hendry, Highlands, Indian River, Lee, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Okeechobee, Palm Beach and St. Lucie counties.
