Exciting news! On September 1, 2011, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Metro New York joined forces with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Western New York and become one chapter under the new name Make-A-Wish Foundation of Metro New York and Western New York.This re-alignment brings together the two largest chapters in the state of New York, who collectively fulfill two-thirds of the wishes statewide. Our chapter will serve eligible children in the combined area of 23 counties with chapter office locations in Lake Success, Manhattan, Buffalo and Rochester. Back-office services such as IT, accounting and payroll will now be shared, while wishgranting, volunteer assignments, and fundraising will continue to be handled by local staff.
The Polar Bears are motivated by camaraderie, a touch of madness and a common goal: To honor the memory of Paulie Bradley and to keep his young spirit alive in others.
Now in its ninth year, Wine & Wishes has become one of New York’s premier wine events and a major source of fundraising for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Metro New York and Western New York.

Thank you, American Airlines, for donating 40 tickets this year, to be used by wish children and their families on travel wishes. With more than 70% of our wishes involving travel, this donation is much appreciated! Read More
