The Senate Resolution introduced by Senators Culver, Tartaglione, Fontana, and others recognizes April 29, 2025, as "World Wish Day" in Pennsylvania. This day is significant as it commemorates the 45th anniversary of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which has been dedicated to granting life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses since its inception. The resolution highlights the foundation's global impact, noting that it has granted over 585,000 wishes worldwide and that in Pennsylvania alone, 708 wishes were granted in the fiscal year 2024.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of wishes in providing hope and strength to children battling critical illnesses, as well as the positive effects these wishes have on their families and communities. "World Wish Day" not only celebrates the foundation's achievements but also marks the 15th anniversary of its official recognition, first celebrated in 2010. By adopting this resolution, the Senate aims to raise awareness about the Make-A-Wish Foundation's mission and the profound impact of granting wishes on children's lives.
