    About Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas

    For children diagnosed with critical illnesses, a wish come true can be a crucial turning point in their lives. A wish can be that spark that helps these children believe that anything is possible and gives them the strength to fight harder against their illnesses. This impact is why Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas is driven to make every one of these wishes come true.

    The inspiration and vision for Make-A-Wish began in Phoenix Arizona in 1980 when a community came together for Christopher James Greicius, a 7-year-old boy battling leukemia, whose wish was to be a police officer. Receiving a custom-tailored uniform, a motorcycle helmet, and his very own battery-operated motorbike, the magic of that one wish created a movement. Today, Make-A-Wish has granted hundreds of thousands of life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses across the U.S. and its territories.

    Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas carries out its impactful work with a dedicated staff of 17. The Chapter partners with community volunteers to deliver its programs and is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Annually, the chapter grants approximately 300 wishes across its territory.

    The Central & South Texas chapter of Make-A-Wish, one of the nation's most recognized nonprofits seeks a dynamic and inspiring Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to successfully guide the Chapter into the future.
