Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Philadelphia & Susquehanna Valley is the nation’s largest wish-granting organization. Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Philadelphia & Susquehanna Valley has given hope, strength and joy to children with life-threatening medical conditions. From our humble beginnings with one boy’s wish to be a police officer, we’ve evolved into an organization that grants a child’s wish in the U.S. every 41 minutes.
The race will benefit the Make-a-Wish Foundation who grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. Our first wish given was from the 2006 Steelman Triathlon, that donated $8,000 to grant a wish for Tim to go to Atlantis and swim with the dolphins. Read below the great stories that your support has made happen.
