About Adventures For Wish Kids

Over 12,000 children are diagnosed annually with life threatening illness in America. In Central Ohio alone, hundreds of new kids are treated in local hospitals for such illnesses.

Most wish granting organizations were founded at a time when children diagnosed with life-threatening illness such as cancer or cystic fibrosis were expected to live only two or three years. Today, due to medical advances, most children will fight their illnesses for five to ten years!

Adventures for Wish Kids is a 501(C)(3) not-for-profit organization that provides:

• Continuing support and lasting memories for children and adolescents with life threatening illness and their families.
  
  
• Opportunities to network with other families with similar problems, support each other emotionally, and escape their problems for a short time.

Because we believe that smiles, laughter and friendships are truly life’s best medicine, we saw a need for continuing support, with fun-filled group activities for these children and allow them the ability to enjoy life in a more meaningful way.

No one is left out of the fun because Mom, Dad and all of the siblings are included on the Adventures!

Some adventures provided in 2005 included Paramount Kings Island, Columbus Zoo, Magic Mountain, OSU Basketball Clinic, A day at the Spa and an incredible holiday party.
