Wish granting
Fulfills wishes for children facing serious illnesses.
The Marty Lyons Foundation grants wishes to children ages three to seventeen who have been diagnosed with terminal or life-threatening illnesses. It also considers second wishes for deserving children. Wishes can include experiences such as Disney vacations or meeting sports heroes, bringing joy and comfort to children and their families during serious medical challenges. The foundation raises funds through donations, sponsors, events, and a wish list, and invites people to volunteer. It reports granting more than 8,700 wishes as of January 2026 and has 11 chapters across 14 states. Founded on Long Island in 1982, the organization is based in Commack.
