10% of the wholesale proceeds from the sale of the Make-A-Wish® Fairy benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish granting work.
It’s a small world indeed! Although I have supported my local Make-A-Wish chapter for many years, it was a good customer of mine, who introduced me to her cousin, who is the president of our local Make-A-Wish chapter. From that meeting and subsequent friendship, I was able to forge an alliance with the national Make-A-Wish Foundation, and design my first Make-A-Wish Fairy for 2007!
A small world…? Why yes! This past summer, I had the opportunity to have a Make-A-Wish child work in one of my showrooms. She is a successful heart transplant recipient who had just gotten back from a surfing trip in Australia…what a wish for a heart transplant recipient!! It was a great experience for both her and my staff.
With your support, we are on target this year to raise in excess of $10,000 for the national Make-A-Wish Foundation®. Please join me and “share the power of a wish”.

Make-A-Wish was my Father’s favorite charity and I collect fairies. My Father passed away in 2001, so this was the perfect gift for my Grandmother to give me last Christmas. I will have this fairy and this story to pass down from generation to generation. (Now I just need to get it signed.) Thank you Mark!

I had the honor of being at the signing event at Canfield Persons in TO last night, to tell people about Make-a-Wish. Mark and the people who work with him are wonderful. He took time with each person that either brought or bought a fairie to be signed, and really made them feel special. He is so supportive of Make-A-Wish and we at the Tri-Counties Chapter, appreciate his support. The store put on a wonderful signing event. Thanks to them also. I bought my own Make-a-Wish Fairie, and it is just beautiful. It will be the start of a new collection, I am sure.

Thank you Mark so much for creating the Make A Wish fairy. This is such a great organization. I got the medium size for myself, and bought 2 more small ones to give as gifts.
