How it all started: the origins of World Wish Day

In 1980, our friends at Make-A-Wish America granted the very first wish for 7 year old Chris Greicius – sparking what's since become the global wish-granting movement we know and love today.

Make-A-Wish all over the world celebrates World Wish Day on April 29, the date the first ever wish was granted.
