Make wishes soar for children with critical illnesses.

Be part of our Wishes in Flight Mileage Drive benefitting Make-A-Wish Alaska and Washington now through August 3. Donate miles or donate dollars. Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Wish kids need your help now, more than ever. Right now, more than 600 children are waiting for their wishes to be granted. You can help make their wishes a reality.

For many of these kids, a wish marks a turning point in their treatment or illness. Wishes give children hope and joy.

Wishes give children the opportunity to imagine life outside the walls of a hospital. You can transport them to the destination of their dreams.
