Proceeds from custom cookie purchases to benefit Make-A-Wish New Jersey

East Rutherford, NJ (March XX, 2023) – Mrs. Fields Cookies and Make-A-Wish New Jersey proudly announce their joint Wish-Upon-a-Cookie campaign launching on April 1st in observance of Make-A-Wish New Jersey’s 40^th Anniversary. Since 1983, the New Jersey chapter has granted nearly 12,000 wishes for children with critical illnesses.

Mrs. Fields Cookies at American Dream created a custom Make-A-Wish Cookie, the signature milk chocolate chip cookie with buttercream frosting, star-shaped confectionary topping, and a blue frosted shooting star. It is exclusively available for purchase in store at American Dream and will also be sold online for the month of April, with proceeds from the sales benefiting Make-A-Wish New Jersey.

“We are grateful to partner with our friends at Mrs. Fields during this unique month-long promotion,” shared Rose Farr, Assistant Vice President of Development for Make-A-Wish New Jersey. “April is a special month for our organization as we celebrate the anniversary of the founding of our mission, and this is an exciting opportunity to continue to raise vital funds to grant more wishes for New Jersey children with critical illnesses.”

Every year, Make-A-Wish chapters across the country celebrate World Wish Day, the global anniversary of the founding of Make-A-Wish on April 29^th. In addition to Mrs. Fields’ Make-A-Wish cookie, American Dream will host the New Jersey chapter’s Walk & Roll For Wishes fundraising event on World Wish Day.

“The Make-A-Wish Foundation is an incredible organization bringing much-needed joy to children living with critical illnesses and their families,” said Jacob Geffner, owner of Mrs. Fields at American Dream. “We wanted to do something special to contribute to such an important mission and we hope that by creating a special cookie to benefit these brave kids and their loved ones, they feel the support from their community.”
