(PHOENIX) September 25, 2001 – The spirit of the Make-A-Wish experience can now be found in special holiday products. The Make-A-Wish Foundation® is currently offering holiday greeting cards, gift cards, and a 2002 calendar through its Web site at www.wish.org. The products all have a genuine sense of warmth as the artwork was designed by exceptional children who have had wishes granted. Photos and stories of the children are featured on the back of each card.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation is using the magic of the winter holiday season to share the power of a wishSM. An average of 69 percent of the proceeds of card purchases goes directly to the Foundation to help make the heartfelt wishes of extraordinary children come true. Additionally, 100 percent of gift or tribute card donations are tax deductible.

The Make-A-Wish greeting cards can be customized with personal messages to provide even more sentimental value. To truly make each card unique, customers can create their own message and add a personal flair by choosing a font and color. Company logos can even be added for corporate orders.

For holiday product questions or to place an order, call the Make-A-Wish holiday processing center toll free at (866) 880-1382. For a direct link to view and order Make-A-Wish holiday products, visit http://www.wish.org/home/holiday.htm.
