Hello again everyone!
As some of you may know, I am a person motivated by faith. Raised a
preacher’s kid, I share in a deep and abiding calling to serve…whomever is in need. I listen to our mission and find deep connections with
what I consider to be true religion. Recently, I read a favorite text
which asked, “But, who do you say that I am?” That prompted me to
wonder, “How do people view the Make-A-Wish Foundation and your
role in it?” Do you mind if I ask you a few questions…
Do you know what we do?

Do you know what that looks like to me?
Caregivers of children with life-threatening medical conditions are caught-up in a maelstrom of
fear, sadness, anxiety, confusion, anger, and doubt. The children stop being kids and become
patients with tests, shots, doctor visits, scans, tubes, and hospital stays. It is at this point that
the power of a wish becomes most potent. In the midst of crisis, the Make-A-Wish Foundation
gently lifts the family out of their situation and lets them live for a short period of time in the
wishful imagination of a child. Medical patient becomes a kid again, caregivers become mom and
dad…wife and husband, brothers and sisters are rediscovered. Once the wish has been granted,
the family is gently returned to their situation. However, they now have hope, strength, and joy
for their place in life…all found in and through a child’s wish!
Do you know what you can do?
Realize that you have the power to grant a wish and be compelled to act! Last year, a group of
school children in Madison raised over $8,500 in our Kids for Wish Kids program. This year, the
nurses of Women’s Hospital in Flowood wanted to Adopt-A-Wish of a local child and will raise
enough resources to grant two wishes in the end! We have over 200 wish granting volunteers
around the state that we have trained to work with the children and families to uncover the
deepest, most heartfelt wish of the children we serve. A myriad of friends help us with fundraising events, office volunteer work, and outreach. Numerous civic groups invite us to present our
stories, successes, and challenges at their meetings. Many businesses across the state encourage
their employees to engage in an employee giving campaign. We can grant about 75 wishes per
year with the help we have now; but there are at least 100 more kids every year that the Make-AWish Foundation of Mississippi can bless through you.
So, how do you now view the Make-A-Wish Foundation and your role in it?!
We created hope, strength, and joy for another year
and we have you to thank. Won’t you please join us
for another magical year and bring along a friend
too.
In hope, strength, and joy,

Hello Everyone!
It’s hard to believe that I have been with the Make-A-Wish family for six
years now. The years have simply flown by, and I remember each wish
child and their families with a fondness that I cannot put into words.
They have all touched my life in more ways than they will ever know.
Well over 150 remarkable children have affected my life in such a positive way, a way that only our volunteers can ever know. You see, once you
meet one of our wish kids, they stay in your heart forever and because of
them you become forever changed. Their snapshots and stories stay with
you and you cannot help but smile.
Our wish children certainly hold a large soft spot for me, but I am also
grateful for the never-ending commitment of our volunteers, board members and supporters. So
many of them are more than their title they are true friends and we are part of a family. And what
a wonderful family it is, everyone should be so lucky.
While it is great to remember all of the fond times, we must also look towards the future. And what
a remarkable future we have; one that includes each of you helping us to make wishes come true.
Thank you all for everything that you have done and for playing such an important role in giving
hope, strength and joy.
Warmest Wishes,

Friends,
Wish! What a powerful word! We’ve all grown up making wishes and
watching wishes come true. It’s appropriate that our organization is
rightly labeled the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Mississippi. Amazing
work is being done every day in Mississippi by the volunteers and staff
of our organization to make the lives of so many children and their
families happier. As a result of the generosity and support of so many
over the past twenty-three years we’ve seen Make-A-Wish in Mississippi grow from a humble beginning to its strong position today. Our
ongoing goal is to not let a single eligible child miss the opportunity to
see their wishes and dreams fulfilled. I challenge you to find a way to become involved and share
the power of a wish. Your life will be changed and you will help ensure the continued upward
progress of Make-A-Wish. Please make those that you touch daily aware of our organization and
how they too can share in the joys of seeing children smile and reach beyond the difficult challenges they face.
As I have the opportunity to speak for the Board of Directors, let me thank you the volunteers, you
the staff, and you the community for all you do for Make-A-Wish and the children and families we
serve in Mississippi.
Best Wishes,
Kenny Windham
Chairman, Board of Directors

Dear Friends of Make-A-Wish,
Those of you who have had the privilege of being directly involved in a wish know the thrill you
received. It’s true that wishes give children and their families hope, strength and joy but we
cannot give this to them without receiving it ourselves. We all need to be rejuvenated from time
to time and what better way than to attend our 6th annual Wishmaker®s’ Ball which will be
held at the Country Club of Jackson on March 29, 2008. This year’s theme is “Under the Big
Top”! You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy delicious food, purchase silent and live auction items
and dance to the band Almost Famous. The highlight of the evening will be meeting our King
and Queen of the Ball – two special wish children from Mississippi! Get your friends together
and make plans now to attend this memorable event and re-dedicate yourself to the mission of
Make-A-Wish!
In addition to the Wishmakers’ Ball, which is our largest fund raiser of the year, our golf
tournaments, Walks, fishing tournament and Kids for Wish Kids® program all help us meet our
funding challenges. We are grateful to many dedicated volunteers who help with these and other events.
Make-A-Wish has become a true passion of mine as I’ve witnessed the smiles on the faces of children as they receive their one
true wish. Do we make a difference? Look in just one wish child’s eyes and you will know.
Sincerely,
Jane Walsh
Community Development Coordinator

Dear Friends,
It has been six months since I came to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and the days have flown by
with breath-taking swiftness. My life has been forever touched by the extraordinary opportunity
of being involved along with my co-workers and many committed volunteers across the state in
this process of granting wishes to wonderful children of all ages. In these six months my eyes
have been opened to the power of a wish in a child’s life.
In 2007, the Mississippi Chapter had the privilege of granting 76 wishes. We strive to make
sure every wish meets the national performance standards of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of
America and is in line with practices we have established in Mississippi. We take extraordinary
care to assure that every wish is granted fairly and consistently, without losing sight of the child
who has voiced that wish. It is the uniqueness of the child that makes the wish come alive and
sparkle with the child’s creative imagination. The heart of the wish is what that child sees in
his mind’s eye when he says, “I wish to ride a horse.” Making the wish as magical as that child’s
imagination is the challenge for us.
It has been an exciting year in my own life personally as the door of opportunity opened for me to be a part of the Make-A-Wish
team. It has enriched my life immeasurably to see the eyes of a child light up when she is told that her wish is coming true.
These are kids and families who have been involved in a tremendous battle, and they are being granted so much more than just
something material or a vacation experience. It is an interlude – a respite – a brief shelter from the storm that will give them
renewed hope, strength, and joy for the journey.
Sincerely,
Beth Holmes
Program Manager
Hello Everyone!
I have been with the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Mississippi since September 1, 2005. I have
to say that it has been a very rewarding job but yet can be sad at times as well. I am the Operations & Finance Manager and am able to assist with the granting of wishes at times. It has been
a joy every time I have been part of a wish because it really fills your heart with joy just knowing that you have assisted in making a child’s dream come true. You not only are touching that
child’s heart, but the families as well. When the families express how appreciative they are for
everything we have done for their child……there is just no way to express the joyful feeling. You
can get really attached to the families as if you are a part of their lives. When you receive a
Thank You note from the family after the wish has been completed, it really feels great!
When I started working with the organization, I sat back and asked if I were
given one wish what it would be. Well I
have not yet figured that one out! But when you ask a child, they usually
know what they want. So when you read this, ask yourself what your
wish would be and see how hard it is to come up with something. So join
our organization as a volunteer or donor so we can continue to create moments of hope, strength and joy.
Warmest Wishes,
Judy Phillips
Finance and Operations Manager

The Power of One
Ever since Hurricane Katrina, the Mississippi Chapter has been confronted with an enormous challenge to grant an
ever increasing number of wishes with slow to recover financial and in-kind resources within our chapter territory. In
response to our need and in order to help make sure that all qualified children receive their one true wish within the
shortest time possible, three of our sister chapters partnered with us to help us grant an additional number of wishes
last year, a process we call brokering. The Hudson Valley Chapter brokered three wishes, the Massachusetts Chapter
brokered five wishes, and the South Dakota Chapter brokered four wishes. Without their partnership, the Mississippi
Chapter would still have 12 kids waiting on their wishes.
In recognition of the growing spirit of unity within our 67 chapter federation, something we call the Power of One, the
Board of Directors of the Mississippi Chapter publicly declares deep and abiding gratitude towards the Hudson Valley
Chapter, the Massachusetts Chapter, and the South Dakota Chapter. Moreover, the Hudson Valley Chapter, Massachusetts Chapter, and the South Dakota Chapter should be listed among our roll call of the faithful for their fidelity,
generosity, and openness to a friend in need. We celebrate the Power of One and hope one day soon to offer ourselves to other chapters in similar need.
Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts -- $29,336.05
Make-A-Wish Foundation of South Dakota -- $8,526.83
Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Hudson Valley -- $11,965.36
Partners In Wishes
September 1—August 31, 2007
In thanksgiving and gratitude we recognize those who have contributed to the Mississippi Chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The
following are our friends and partners who have joined the Mississippi
Chapter in fulfilling and extending our mission. On behalf of all of the
Wish Kids and their families, we humbly recognize those individuals, organizations, corporations, and foundations who are truly our partners
in granting wishes.
