Make-A-Wish® Maine

Jaxson’s wish to go to Walt Disney World has come true! 🌟💙 #FeelGoodFriday

🌟 Young Leaders Council Spotlight: Ashley Deeb We’re proud to spotlight Ashley Deeb of Mainely Tubs, a dedicated member of our Young Leaders Council since 2024. Ashley first connected with Make-A-Wish® Maine through her work, helping coordinate and participate in hot tub wishes. “After attending two wish reveals and seeing firsthand the impact on the recipients and their families, I knew I wanted to deepen my involvement and contribute in a more meaningful way.” She values the relationships built through the YLC, sharing that the best part is "the opportunity to connect with like-minded peers across a variety of industries who share a passion for advancing the organization’s mission. It’s an incredible group of people, and I feel fortunate to serve alongside them.” Beyond Make-A-Wish, Ashley is also passionate about giving back as a congenital heart disease survivor and serves on the Board of Directors for the Maine chapter of the American Heart Association. Thank you, Ashley, for your passion, leadership, and commitment to making a difference. 💙 #MakeAWishMaine #YoungLeadersCouncil #VolunteerSpotlight #NonprofitLeadership #CommunityImpact #WishMakers 

Help wishes take flight! 🌟✈ While your airline miles will expire, once donated to Make-A-Wish Maine they will never expire. The majority of our wishes involve air travel, so you can make a real difference in the life of a Maine child battling a critical illness with a gift of your unused air miles! Visit https://buff.ly/AXdkM3k for more information.

The promise of a wish is so much more than a temporary escape. It’s a wellspring of strength to keep fighting for better days. 👉 Follow Make-A-Wish® Maine to stay connected to inspiring wish stories, volunteer opportunities, events, and the many ways you can help create hope when it’s needed most for local kids.

Together with Fanatics, we’re celebrating a major milestone of 1,000 wishes granted for children with critical illnesses across the country. As the official sports partner of Make-A-Wish, Fanatics helps bring unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime sports experiences to wish kids, creating joy, hope, and lasting memories when it’s needed most. In Maine, Fanatics helped make Owen’s wish to go to an LA Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks game come true. Help us celebrate this incredible milestone and the power of wishes made possible through partnership. ⭐

A huge thanks to North Yarmouth Academy students Hadley, Sammy, and Bria, who have spent the last two weeks volunteering at our office. 🌟 The future is bright with outgoing, compassionate, and hard-working teens like these making a difference!

🌟 Young Leaders Council Spotlight: Drew Blaney We’re proud to spotlight Drew Blaney of R.M. Davis, a valued member of our Young Leaders Council since 2024. For Drew, being a part of the YLC became deeply meaningful after becoming a parent. “Seeing the world through the lens of a parent makes it impossible not to feel the weight—and the hope—behind each wish.” This perspective drives his commitment to fundraising and advocacy: “Serving on the YLC provides me with a meaningful way to support the organization and ensure those moments continue for families across Maine.” We’re grateful for Drew’s compassion and dedication to making a difference for wish families. Thank you, Drew, for all you do. 💙 #MakeAWishMaine #YoungLeadersCouncil #VolunteerSpotlight #NonprofitLeadership #CommunityImpact #WishMakers
