Reach For a Star of El Paso
Reach For a Star of El Paso
Reach For A Star is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit with one very special mission—granting wishes to children facing critical illnesses throughout El Paso, surrounding Texas communities, and Southern New Mexico. For us, a wish is so much more than a gift. It’s a smile, something exciting to look forward to, and a chance for a child and their family to forget about hospitals, treatments, and appointments for a little while and simply enjoy being together. And everything we do is done entirely by volunteers who truly love this mission and the families we serve. Beyond wishes, we continue to be there for our families and community throughout the year with special events, celebrations, and support—because once you become part of the Reach For A Star family, we want you to know you’re never alone.

Causes: Children and Youth, Health and Mental Well-being

Reach For A Star was built on one simple but powerful belief: when a child is facing a critical illness, hope matters.

For more than 40 years, our local 501(c)(3) nonprofit has been granting wishes to children with critical illnesses and creating moments when families can step away from doctors, treatments, and worry and simply enjoy being together.

To us, a wish is so much more than a gift. It’s something to look forward to. It’s a smile, a celebration, a day filled with laughter, and a memory a family can hold onto long after the moment has passed. 🌟

And our love for our families doesn’t end when the wish is over. Throughout the year, we continue bringing families and our community together through holiday celebrations, school supply giveaways, family events, Thanksgiving support, and other special moments.

Reach For A Star is run entirely by volunteers, and behind every wish are people who care—our volunteers, donors, sponsors, community partners, and families. We may be a small organization, but together, our community has a BIG heart.

Your support on El Paso Giving Day helps us continue saying YES to wishes, creating special memories, supporting families, and reminding children facing critical illnesses that they have a whole community in their corner.
