Kids Wish Network
Kids Wish Network is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions. It has been the subject of negative publicity throughout its history, including accusations of trademark infringement, tax avoidance and inefficient fundraising practices. It was named "the worst charity in the nation" in a 2013 review of charities with wasteful spending practices.
==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 the ages of 3 and 18 who have overcome life-altering circumstances, often enduring a great deal of pain and suffering. In 2004, it had granted 143 wishes〔 and in 2013 it granted 800 wishes.〔
Some of its wishes have been granted by celebrities such as musician Brad Paisley,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kids Wish Network Shelley Breiner Announces Brad Paisley Corvette Dream Giveaway )〕 professional wrestler John Cena, R&B artist Keyshia Cole, NFL coach Jon Gruden,〔 country singer Taylor Swift, and the Green Bay Packers.
