Our Board of Directors

The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Mississippi Board of Directors helps chart the Foundation’s course. They contribute a vast array of experience and skills that helps maintain our status as the nation’s largest wish-granting organization.

As a whole, the board determines the Foundation’s mission and vision. It selects, evaluates and supports the president and chief executive officer. The board also protects the Foundation’s assets, enhances its public standing, ensures accountability, maintains legal integrity and assesses its own performance.

The amazing folks at Cruisin' the Coast raised $22,500 this year through a raffle for a 1970 Chevelle SS 396...that's enough to grant 3 wishes! The next raffle will be in 2011 for a 1962 Chevrolet Impala.
