Make-a-Wish Singapore is a charity organization that grants wishes to local children with critical illnesses and is the only one of its kind in Singapore. The organization's continued efforts to assist children battling critical illnesses can instill hope in the children and their families. MDRT and the MDRT Foundation have a long history of supporting the Make-a-Wish Foundation and local chapters around the world.

Make-a-Wish gave a presentation on the Main Platform at the 1985 MDRT Annual Meeting when it was a smaller, lesser-widely recognized organization. The presentation left an immense impact on MDRT members, who went on to found 45 local chapters in 5 countries. Over the years, the MDRT Foundation has awarded hundreds of grants to the Make-a-Wish Foundation and various local chapters, totaling over 670,600 SGD.

Through the MDRT Whole Person Concept, members strive to provide service and be a positive influence on their communities. Incorporating the concept into their lifestyle helps members align with their values and contribute time, energy and financial resources to their communities. This allows them to become positive role models and uplift those around them.

"MDRT and the MDRT Foundation are both dedicated to helping increase financial literacy and uplifting those in need," said MDRT First Vice President Carol Kheng, ChFC. "These donations help us continue striving to increase industry participation and support charitable organizations around the world."
