The Charities That Pushups For Charity Supports

Most of our Pushups for Charity partners are raising funds for Make-A-Wish Australia. However some are raising funds for the charity of their choice. Each partner will tell you who they are raising funds for in the video on their partner page.

Regardless of which charity our partners support, you can be assured that 100% of the money raised goes directly the charity. And that can be verified by contacting the respective charity.

How Make-A-Wish® Foundation Helps Children

“A wish granted has a deep, life-affirming impact on the wish child and family, creating the hope, strength and joy so greatly needed. What makes each wish even more remarkable is the power to enrich so many others’ lives – from friends, volunteers and donors to sponsors and even entire communities.” Vici Funnell, CEO, Make-A-Wish® Foundation of Australia

Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. The Foundation’s mission reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish® experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors, sponsors and entire communities.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation® was founded in 1980 after a little boy named Chris Greicius realized his heartfelt wish to become a police officer. Since its humble beginnings, the organization has blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon, reaching more than 174,000 children around the world.

Although it has become one of the world’s most well-known charities, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has maintained the grassroots fulfillment of its mission.

A network of nearly 25,000 volunteers enable the Make-A-Wish Foundation® to serve children with life-threatening medical conditions. Volunteers serve as wish granters, fundraisers, special events assistants and in numerous other capacities. As the Foundation continues to mature, its mission will remain steadfast: sharing the power of a wish®.
