Right now, there are over 50 children in the Athens community waiting for their wish to come true - Beckam is one of them.
With your help, we're hoping to create a magical surprise for Beckam while he waits for his wish. He’s been in recovery the past seven months from back fusion surgery and the pandemic has made him wait even longer for his wish. He deserves HOPE and the Athens community can help us bring it to him right now.
Together, we will raise vital funds for future wishes while celebrating Beckam. This socially distant family-friendly event and car parade is powered by wish families, volunteers, companies, donors and friends.

Since 1995, Make-A-Wish Georgia has been granting the wishes of local children facing critical illnesses. More than 20 years later, more than 8,000 wish kids and families have experienced the impact of a life-changing wish. Make-A-Wish Georgia is a movement, powered by you, to renew families and communities with hope and strength.
A wish experience can be a game-changer for a child with a critical illness.
This one belief guides us in everything we do at Make-A-Wish®. It inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve. It compels us to be creative in exceeding the expectations of every wish kid. It drives us to make our donated resources go as far as possible.
Most of all, it's the founding principle of our vision to grant the wish of every eligible child.
Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time. Wishes impact everyone involved - wish kids, volunteers, donors, sponsors, medical professionals and communities. The impact varies. For wish kids, just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or philanthropy.
Whatever the odds, whatever the obstacles ... wishes find a way to make the world better.
Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. ”
