WWE star John Cena has 20-year partnership with Make-A-Wish Foundation
One of the main names in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), John Cena broke world record for wishes fulfilled by Make-A-Wish Foundation, a non-profit company that makes dreams come true for children aged 2 to 18 diagnosed with a critical illness. The information is from the record book Guinness World Records.
all in all, Scene fulfilled the wishes of 650 children. The partnership between the star and the company lasts approximately 20 years: he collaborated for the first time with Make-A-Wish in 2002 – and, in 2012, he was largely responsible for realizing the foundation’s thousandth wish.
Second Guinness World Records, John Cena is the most requested celebrity for wishes. As people reported, in the foundation’s 42 years of existence, no other person has granted more than 200 wishes.
“I want to see [as crianças] have an experience that will stay with them forever. I never want children or their families to be treated in a way that makes them feel like they’re facing anything.” The Hollywood Reporter about his commitment to Make-A-Wish Foundation.
In 2015, Scene received an honor for bestowing 500 – and he spoke to the ESPN about the company and how much he enjoys collaborating with it: “I just drop everything. If I can deliver a fantastic experience, I’ll be the first in line to do my part.”
John Cena’s relationship with volunteer work at the Make-A-Wish Foundation
During participation in The Drew Barrymore Show (via people) in January 2022, John Cena talked about the honor he has for children who are his fans. “The list of Make-A-Wish it’s huge and they will literally do whatever you want. ‘I want to spend some time with John Cena and see him fight.’ That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever heard in my life,” he commented.
That means many things. One: Something I’m passionate about affects people. Two: I can be a vehicle to help fulfill a wish. And three: when we get involved, when the desire really happens, it’s something someone wants and we’re the finish line.
