13 Things The Walt Disney Company Does With Your Money

2. Makes Wishes Come True

While it’s not really fair to compare the good works of one charitable organization to the good works of another, Disney’s involvement with the Make-A-Wish Foundation rates a special mention of its own.  Disney has been involved with Make-A-Wish since 1981, when they were part of the very first official wish made by a 7-year old boy facing leukemia.  Since that time, Disney has been involved in the granting of over 100,000 wishes to children facing life-threatening medical conditions, with as many as 7,000 wishes in a single year.
