Other Ways to Donate
Sponsor-a-Wish Program
How about sponsoring or adopting a wish?
Yes, your family, company or association can make a difference in the life of a child/young adult living in Rhode Island or areas of Southeastern Massachusetts. For a donation of $2,500 or more, you may choose to sponsor a particular wish. You will receive a detailed story of the wish including a framed wish art or picture from the wish child/young adult in honor of your gift.
Add a new twist to a special event! Whether you are having a summer picnic, holiday party, birthday or anniversary, you can “sponsor a wish” and add a whole new meaning to your celebration theme.
Upon special request we will be happy to send a representative to share the story of Rosemary’s Wish Kids, Inc. and learn more about the child/young adult you sponsored.

“Fun” in Fundraising
Your company, association, school, or club can create a fund-raising event of its own to benefit the wish children/young adults of Rhode Island or areas of Southeastern Massachusetts. From company holiday parties to family reunions, groups are an essential part in the supporting wishes every year.
Some examples of external events that have made dreams come true are car washes, wine tasting, concerts, golf tournaments, bake sales, fashion shows, social hours, or percentages of business sales.
With the completion of a fundraising agreement for use of Rosemary’s Wish Kids, Inc. logo, etc. we can offer volunteer support, banners, etc. and a representative from Rosemary’s’ Wish Kids, Inc. to speak at your function.

In-Kind Giving
Many of our wishes are made possible by pro bono (volunteered) services and in-kind (free or deeply discounted) donations.
Rosemary’s Wish Kids holds fund-raising events with both silent and live auctions. If you would like to donate a new or collectible item for one of our events, please contact our Office.
When our wish granters visit a wish child/young adult for the first time we always like to bring gifts for them as well as their siblings. So toys are always needed. We like to call these items “get acquainted gifts”. These items must be new. They can be toys or any item they would enjoy! These in-kind donations help bring wishes to life and add a special touch that brings an extra sparkle in their eyes.
We also need new travel items which we add to our wish children/young adults travel bags or backpacks. These include disposable cameras, toothbrushes, photo albums, sunglasses, sunscreen, hand-held games, coloring books. crayons, pencils, address books, crossword puzzle books or word books, children’s reading books, teenage/older reading books (13-21 years), backpacks, fanny packs, and other travel items that would help occupy their travel time.
