Bill > SCR57

This concurrent resolution recognizes April 29, 2025, as "World Wish Day" in Delaware, highlighting the significant work of the Make-A-Wish Foundation in granting life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses. The resolution emphasizes that Make-A-Wish has been operating for over four decades, granting wishes in more than 50 countries and helping nearly 30,000 children worldwide in 2024. The document underscores the importance of wishes, which are not just moments of joy but also sources of inspiration and resilience for critically ill children, potentially improving their emotional well-being and health outcomes. Specifically, the resolution commemorates the anniversary of the first wish granted in 1980 to a 7-year-old boy named Chris, who inspired the organization's creation, and seeks to honor the volunteers, donors, medical professionals, and community members who help make these wishes a reality. By recognizing World Wish Day, the resolution aims to inspire Delawareans to support the power of wishes and participate in World Wish Month throughout April.
