Background.
The Kids Wish Network was founded in 1997 as the "Fulfill a Wish Foundation" by Mark Breiner, his wife Shelley Breiner and Shelley's mother Barbara Askin in honor of Shelley's father, who died of cancer in 1993. In 1998, the company's name was changed to "Kids Wish Network" as part of a settlement after the Make-A-Wish Foundation sued the organization on the premise that it had a confusingly similar name.
The organization's beneficiaries are children between
management specialist hired by Kids Wish Network said that the charity contracts corporate telemarketers so that Kids Wish Network staff can focus on "working with children" not on "raising donations." She said the 100 percent of money pledged directly to Kids Wish Network—as opposed to donations collected through telephone solicitors—goes directly to charity. She "is focused on the future."
