Make-A-Wish Ohio, Kentucky & Indiana is a regional nonprofit that grants wishes to local children facing critical illnesses, providing experiences intended to bolster resilience during treatments and foster hope for the future. Based in Columbus, Ohio, the organization has operated since 1983 and has supported the community by granting more than 15,000 wishes in its service area. The work relies on volunteers, donors, and referrals, with a mid-sized team coordinating the program. Its services are directed at families navigating pediatric illness, addressing emotional and social needs through the creation of meaningful, wish-based experiences that accompany medical care. As part of the broader Make-A-Wish network, the chapter engages in partnerships and industry events to advance its mission. A 2025 collaboration with Dude Perfect is among the recent developments highlighted in the network's activities.
