WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 48-HOUR RIDE?

Make-A-Wish’s goal is to bring every eligible child's wish to life. In 2023, we granted over 1400 life changing wishes. Challenges related to COVID-19 persisted through last year, and we still have thousands of wishes waiting to be granted.

By joining the 48-HOUR RIDE team today, you will join in our efforts of raising over $2,500,000 to ensure no child must wait for their wish.

WHAT DOES A PARTICIPANT DO?

As a Participant, you share with others why you are passionate about Make-A-Wish. You can share your story and ask for donations so more children can experience the life-changing power of a wish

HOW MUCH DOES A PARTICIPANT RAISE?

Each Participant sets their own fundraising goals during the campaign. A minimum fundraising goal is set to each team's fundraising page. Please know Make-A-Wish is incredibly grateful for your support of wish kids and their families regardless of the amount raised.    

Our platform has creative ways to help you hit your goals. Read more about them here:

HOW DOES A  PARTICIPANT SHARE THEIR MESSAGE AND COLLECT DONATIONS? 

Through a personalized online fundraising page, a Participant shares their story and mobilizes friends, family members and colleagues to donate to help ensure local wishes are granted for years to come. When you commit to becoming a participant, Make-A-Wish creates a personal fundraising page for you. Your personal fundraising page is a web page that your contacts visit to read your story and make a donation if able. The page is mobile-friendly and very easy to use.
