Tiffany Rowe, a survivor of aplastic anemia, was given a wish by the Make-A-Wish Foundation that inspired her lifelong commitment to helping others. In 1994, she founded the first "wish-makers" group at Cornell University, establishing a strong partnership with Make-A-Wish CNY. Recently, this relationship was revived when a group of Cornell students raised nearly $5,000 for Make-A-Wish through a course project on persuasive communication, showcasing the benefits of combining philanthropy with education and real-world applications, according to Make-A-Wish CNY's president Diane Kuppermann.
