John Cena’s Greatest Victory Isn’t in a Ring
Over 650 wishes granted, one unbroken promise, and a legacy defined by commitment and dedication
Has anyone heard of the Make-A-Wish Foundation?
Please understand that I am not hustling anyone. But I am sure many have contributed to this charity.
This foundation is a non-profit organization that grants life-changing wishes to children facing critical illnesses. Founded in 1980 with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, the organization operates across all 50 U.S. states and nearly 50 countries worldwide.
To date, the foundation has granted over 500,000 wishes globally, according to Morningstar. But the majority of those wishes were granted by a sports athlete: John Cena.
John Cena?
Seriously?
Come on, Cardell. Really?
Well, Cena’s work with the foundation is widely considered one of the most remarkable philanthropic efforts by any public figure. He is famously the most requested celebrity in the foundation’s history.
