Thank you for your incredible support of the 2025 Christmas Markets in Geneva, Olten and Zofingen!

In recent weeks, the Make-A-Wish Switzerland teams and volunteers have had the pleasure of meeting large and enthusiastic crowds at the Christmas markets in Geneva, Olten, and Zofingen. Thanks to your presence, support, and generosity, these events were truly successful and inspiring.

Our volunteers welcomed hundreds of visitors who came to discover or rediscover the mission of Make-A-Wish: to grant the wishes of seriously ill children to offer them hope, strength and joy in difficult times.
It was a great pleasure to share friendly exchanges with you, to answer your questions and to show you the concrete impact of each wish fulfilled.

To help make wishes come true, we offered a selection of Make-A-Wish products this year, including:

  • Our scented candles,
  • Our delicious chocolates,
  • Our Make-A-Wish tote bags,
  • And our customizable star workshop, which was particularly appreciated by both children and adults.

Every purchase and every participation in these activities directly contributed to funding new wishes for children affected by illness. Your support means the world to them.

None of this would have been possible without the extraordinary involvement of our volunteers, who gave their time and energy with enthusiasm and kindness.
We would also like to warmly thank all the donors who, through their contributions large or small, help us to make wishes come true and to make these moments unique.

Your continued support allows us to pursue our mission and bring light into the lives of children who so desperately need it.
Thank you all for being by our side.

Every year in Switzerland, many children receive a diagnosis that changes their lives forever. The joy of childhood suddenly gives way to medical treatments and hospital nights.

A wish granted gives back this childhood stolen by illness. It brings light and joy, leaving a lasting imprint on the hearts of the entire family.

Make a wish come true with us, because hope changes everything.

Help a child

Support a child who simply dreams of experiencing something unique, escaping the daily grind and experiencing a moment of pure happiness. Behind every dream lies a need for recognition, escape, or hope.
