IT IS THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLE OF OUR MISSION TO GRANT THE WISH OF EVERY ELIGIBLE CHILD IN OUR COMMUNITY, BETWEEN THE AGES OF 2 1/2 AND 18. A WISH COME TRUE CAN HELP GIVE LOCAL KIDS THE STRENGTH TO COMPLY WITH THEIR MEDICAL TREATMENTS, AND THE COURAGE TO FIGHT OR EVEN OVERCOME THEIR ILLNESS. EACH WISH IS AS UNIQUE AND SPECIAL AS THE CHILD. WHETHER THAT'S TO MEET THEIR FAVORITE DISNEY HEROES, EXPERIENCE THE BRIGHT LIGHTS OF BROADWAY, OR ESCAPE TO A TROPICAL PARADISE, WE STRIVE TO DELIVER HOPE DURING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIMES AND CREATE JOYFUL, LIFE-CHANGING EXPERIENCES FOR EVERY CHILD AND ALL WHO SUPPORT THEM IN THEIR FIGHT. IN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR, THE MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION OF OREGON GRANTED 285 LOCAL WISHES TO CHILDREN BATTLING CRITICAL ILLNESSES. THE COST OF WISHES GRANTED DURING THE FISCAL YEAR WAS $3,714,132. INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT IS $1,060,905 CONTRIBUTED BY VARIOUS VENDORS WHO PROVIDED CONTRIBUTIONS OF SERVICES OR USE OF FACILITIES TO COMPLETE A CHILD'S WISH. FOR AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT PURPOSES THIS AMOUNT IS INCLUDED AS CONTRIBUTION REVENUE AND DIRECT WISH COST EXPENSE. PER IRS RULES, THIS AMOUNT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE FORM 990. THE IRS REQUIRES THAT CONTRIBUTED SERVICES AND USE OF FACILITIES BE EXCLUDED FROM BOTH REVENUE AND EXPENSES.
