The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a non-profit organization. The organization helps children that have life-threatening medical conditions by arranging experiences known as "wishes". The age limit is between 2 and a half and 18 at the time of referral. The person that decides if the child is eligible is the child's physician.[1] The organization is based in Phoenix, Arizona.[2] David A. Williams is the president and CEO of Make-A-Wish America.[3] The person that holds the title of most wishes granted is professional wrestler John Cena who has grants over 450 wishes.[4]
