Volunteering at Make-A-Wish gives you an opportunity to meet other like-minded people, make new friends and, from time to time, to try something a bit different!

Volunteers' "Big Kids" Party

On 10th October 2009, Make-A-Wish® staff and volunteers gathered at the River Place Clubhouse for their annual Volunteers’ Party.

With plenty of yummy food and goodies available including a DIY ice-cream station, our volunteers were loaded with plenty of energy for the volunteer games including a Make-A-Wish variation of the classic game, ‘Musical Chairs’, this time with funky hats and funky poses instead.

Chairman, Dr Keith Goh also made a short speech thanking the volunteers for their hard work, calling them the “very core of the Foundation”. After the evening’s festivities were over, tokens of appreciation were given to special groups of volunteers in recognition of the extraordinary effort some went through in wish-granting and fundraising. All the volunteers enjoyed their night of fun thoroughly, leaving refreshed and looking forward to another year of helping Make-A-Wish Singapore.

Volunteer Events 2008

To thank all volunteers for their invaluable help over the year Make-A-Wish held a volunteer party at Island Resort Chalet on 13th September – the event was kindly sponsored by our Chairman, Dr Keith Goh.

In addition to the fun day at the beach, a celebration at K-Box, Leisure Dome Kallang took place after the success of the Inaugural Gala Dinner. Volunteers and staff tested their voices at karaoke and their skills around the pool table.

Hawaiian Party 2007

On 21 September 2007, a Hawaiian Pool Luau Party was thrown in honour of the volunteers. This was a wonderful opportunity to reward the volunteers who are the heart and soul of this organization. Karen & Wayne Peat graciously opened their home to an evening of fun and socializing. Volunteers from all walks of life had the chance to meet one another, share experiences and enjoy a relaxing evening together.

Each guest was adorned at the door with Hawaiian lei, and an exclusive Make-A-Wish star keychain. The night followed with sumptuous BBQ food, lucky draws, special fun volunteer awards and lots of mingling with new friends.

The highlight of the evening was a group sharing event, when each person recounted their first Magic Wish Moment. Tears were shed and laughs were gained by this revealing exercise. “It is moments like these that make life worth living,” said Lars. The evening was made complete with a special screening of a heart-warming video; featuring six adorable Wish Children thanking their wish granters for touching their lives with their magic.It is the passion of the volunteers that keeps Make-A-Wish going and we salute you for that.

A Christmas Night of Wishes 2006

With the support of the Grand Hyatt Singapore, we were able to hold our first volunteer appreciation event and a night of live music, fun games and great food was an apt celebration of 170 wishes granted since Make-A-Wish Singapore began.

Wish Granter on Wheels 2006

Wish Granters on wheels was an informal social event organised at the East Coast Park and we welcomed many volunteers with their families as they cycled or rollerbladed through the park.
