About the Make-A-Wish Starblazer Awards
Make-A-Wish has more than 400,000 wish alumni, and 95% say that their Wish Journey made them feel more joyful, confident, and hopeful for their futures. Each year, the Starblazer Awards recognize those who were granted a wish by Make-A-Wish who, inspired by the lasting impact of their wish, are now making a positive impact in the world – through their community, their workplace, or philanthropy. It’s not a last wish; it’s a lasting wish.
