Want to support the Make-A-Wish® vision to grant the wish of every child diagnosed with a critical illness? At Make-A-Wish®, a wish is granted in the US an average of every 34 minutes. We believe a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides us and inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve. Make-A-Wish® San Diego grants life-changing wishes for children in San Diego and Imperial Counties.

Annually, the Kaiser Permanente Thrive Half Marathon, 5K and Wish Walk commits a portion of the race proceeds to Make-A-Wish San Diego. Let’s give back to the community by giving back to the kids!

You are invited to set-up a fundraiser for Make-A-Wish® San Diego and join a movement of goal-getters who are raising needed funds to grant wishes for critically ill children and their families.

Can we count on you?

Become a fundraiser and when you reach $250 raised, you will earn your registration fee back!
