Operation Dream Maker

Through Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic® Operation Dream Maker, CSA'ers are granting wishes to children with critical illnesses whose parents or guardians serve or have served in the military.

CSA Wish Challenge

CSA has three pillars of community outreach: supporting veterans, nurturing future generations, and providing mental health assistance.

In 2023, CSA partnered with Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic® Operation Dream Maker, and ​through our employees, partners, friends and familiy, we have raised more than $113,000 to grant life-changing wishes to give hope and joy to the children of our nation’s heroes.

Our CSA Wish Project

Wish Dedication

Each Spring, Operation Dream Maker finds kid’s facing life threatening illnesses and assigns them to CSA to help make thier wishes come true.

CSA Gives

Through fun and friendly competition, CSA, CSA’ers, and friends of CSA donate dollars or vacation time (where applicable), to contribute to granting life changing wishes.

Wishes Granted

CSA works with Make-A-Wish to make wishes come true. We give these kids the strength to fight against and even overcome a critical illness.

About
Operation Dream Maker

In addition to the uncertainty and fear of facing a childhood illness, the families of our military members have the added stress of their service - including deployments and frequent moves. This special fund provides wishes to kids with critical illnesses whose parents and guardians serve, or have served, in the military.
