At The Learning Experience, our philanthropy program teaches children that: It doesnt matter how big or small you are, its the size of your heart that matters.

Developed in partnership with Make-A-Wish, Lets Grant Wishes is an initiative that educates children about the powerful life lesson of philanthropy. Throughout the month of April, children will learn about the importance of helping others and the positive difference they can make in the world when they work together.

Your donation will help us in granting wishes for deserving children in our communities. Help us show our little learners the positive impact they can have on the lives of other children and the world by supporting Lets Grant Wishes and Make-A-Wish today. We ask every participant to help us reach our goal of $10,000 by donating $20. Please use the link below, Thank you!
