April is World Wish Month, with World Wish Day recognized on April 29.
World Wish Day is celebrated annually on April 29th to commemorate the anniversary of the first Make-A-Wish, granted in 1980. It focuses on granting life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses, bringing hope, joy, and improved emotional well-being to families.
"Painting the town blue" for World Wish Day (April 29) is a global initiative by Make-A-Wish to raise awareness for children with critical illnesses. Landmarks, buildings, and homes are illuminated in blue to celebrate the transformative power of a wish and highlighting the organization's mission to bring hope and joy to families.
