World Wish Day – Make-A-Wish & Famous 4th Street Cookie

In celebration of World Wish Day (April 29) and World Wish Month (all of April), Make-A-Wish® Philadelphia, Delaware & Susquehanna Valley is partnering with Philly’s Famous 4th Street Cookie Company to spotlight a special, limited-time treat created by local wish kid Blakelyn.

From 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. on April 29, Make-A-Wish staff and volunteers will be onsite at Reading Terminal Market handing out cookie samples in celebration of the impact of wishes for children facing critical illnesses.

Blakelyn, a 12-year-old aspiring baker, was diagnosed in first grade with von Hippel-Lindau disease, a rare condition that causes tumors. Through her love of baking, she found creativity, calm, and confidence. When it came time to make her wish, Blakelyn chose to bring her passion to life through baking—and even competition. With support from the team at Famous 4th Street Cookie Company, she created her now-signature S’mores Cookie, inspired by nostalgic campfire flavors.

Throughout April, proceeds from every S’mores Cookie sold help to support Make-A-Wish, helping grant life-changing wishes for other children in the region. The cookie is available in-store and online, individually or as part of a Make-A-Wish Cookie Box.
