Wishes & More Ambassadors
Each year, we ask Board and Advisory Board Members, past Ambassadors and staff to nominate individuals/companies who clearly represent and dedicate time and effort to promote Wishes & More® to their professional and personal networks. We proudly recognize each of our Ambassadors and are honored to be the recipient of their support.
Office Help
The office is always busy, and we have a variety of tasks for those who wish to help out in the office during business hours. Some regular office tasks involve writing thank-you notes to our donors, data entry, bookkeeping, filing, assisting with wish paperwork and preparing mailings, only to name a few.
Wish Granting Volunteers
Volunteers are needed to assist in making the wishes happen. Duties range from setting up a vacation (travel wish), soliciting or shopping for items (gift wish), creating a vocation for a day (ex. a child wishes to be a police officer), or setting up a meeting with a celebrity (child wishes to meet someone). Time commitment of 1-2 wishes per quarter. Time is as needed dependent upon the complexity of the wish.
Marketing Volunteers

Magic Makers
