About Make-A-Wish
Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. We seek to bring every eligible child's wish to life because a wish is an integral part of a child's treatment journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight their illness. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Make-A-Wish is the world's leading children's wish-granting organization, serving children in every community in the United States and in more than 50 countries worldwide. Together, generous donors, supporters, staff and more than 35,000 volunteers across the U.S., grant a wish every 34 minutes, on average, somewhere in the country. Since 1980, Make-A-Wish has granted more than 300,000 wishes to children in the U.S. and its territories; more than 15,400 in 2017 alone.

"At Maggiano's, we want every Guest to feel special while dining with us and we are so thankful to have Guests who eagerly partner with us to make the wish kids feel special," Larry Konecny, vice president and chief marketing officer of Maggiano's, said. "Year after year, I'm amazed by the Maggiano's Teammates who go above and beyond to host over-the-top wish parties and directly connect with the wish kids and their families in our restaurants across the nation. Let our favorite time of year begin."
"Maggiano's has been deeply committed to helping children with critical illnesses for the past 15 years," David Williams, president and chief executive officer for Make-A-Wish America, said. "We are grateful to partner and have the long-time support of Maggiano's, its Guests and Teammates. We are excited to continue the tradition and, together, help grant more wishes, one dish at a time."The Maggiano's and Make-A-Wish partnership
