2022 NARPM® President Liz Cleyman, MPM® RMP®, selected the 2022 charity, Make-A-Wish Foundation. Join NARPM as we bring hope to children living with critical illnesses and help grant wishes! Make-A-Wish Foundation makes thousands of wishes come true every year. Every $10,000 donated by NARPM® members will be adding to those thousands of wishes. As we collect and hit the goal of $10,000 for each child, we will make the donation. As Make-A-Wish grants a child’s wish with our donations, they will send us the sweet story of the child’s life we touched. Our goal, as a group, will be to grant five wishes, which is a total of $50,000. This is completely doable. With a membership of 6,000 that would only be $8.33 per person. Completely doable!
It’s easy. No paper forms to fill out.
Just visit the specially designated website for NARPM and follow the directions on the donation page.

Allison Avila-Betran, 9, Cancer, wished to have a backyard playset. Diagnosed with cancer at an early age, Allison has had a rougher life than most girls. When Make-A-Wish invited Allison to think about her most heartfelt wish, she wanted something to help her feel free from her illness. Allison often found herself overwhelmed with sadness during her lengthy hospital stays and decided she would feel the most joy with a backyard playset. The prospect of a transformational wish gave her the strength and determination to get through those difficult days. When the day came for Allison to see her backyard playset for the first time, it was a pivotal moment. She couldn’t contain her excitement and immediately ran to start playing. Today, Allison’s playset continues to be a source of joy. Allison’s mom shared that this is the best Allison has ever felt since her medical journey began. Her parents reflect on her wish experience as an unforgettable moment that brought a light of hope and joy back to their daughter.
Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
A wish experience can be a game-changer for a child with a critical illness. This one belief guides us in everything we do at Make-A-Wish. It inspires us to grant life-changing wishes for children going through so much. It compels us to be creative in exceeding the expectations of every wish kid. It drives us to make our donated resources go as far as possible. Most of all, it’s the founding principle of our vision to grant the wish of every eligible child.
Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time. Wishes impact everyone involved—wish kids, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals and communities. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy.
