MAKE-A-WISH Singapore on Friday (Apr 29) announced a 2,000-wishes milestone to mark its 20th anniversary.
Through the power of wishes, the organisation aims to help children who are ill - and their families - by bringing joy and hope to them.
Jeremy Lin, vice-chairman of Make-A-Wish Singapore, said: “The power of a wish goes beyond the wish experience, as it also instils optimism, hope and strength in the children and their families during their ongoing battles with their illnesses. Some of these beneficiaries also pay it forward in their own ways to help other less fortunate families, creating a ripple effect of good. On our 20th anniversary, we hope to share the journeys and stories of wishes come true for our children who have not been well, and to rally the community in supporting children in need; especially those who can benefit from the positive impact of a wish.”
In addition, Singapore digital media company SGAG has adopted Make-A-Wish Singapore as its charity of choice as it celebrates its 10th anniversary.
To support Make-A-Wish Singapore’s goal of reaching 2,000 wishes, SGAG will be producing content that highlights the power of fulfilling wishes and to encourage Singaporeans to refer suitable children to the organisation.
“Our 10th anniversary is a momentous occasion, and we wanted to pay it forward with an impactful partnership where we can leverage our platform for good by spreading joy and instilling hope,” said SGAG's general manager, Michelle Tan.
