Featured Partners and Programs

MAKE A WISH

For more than 40 years, WWE and Make-A-Wish have partnered to grant wishes for children diagnosed with critical illnesses. Although it takes imagination to create a wish, it takes a universe of volunteers, medical professionals, donors, supporters and even WWE Superstars to make it happen. To date, WWE Superstars have granted more than 6,000 wishes with John Cena becoming the world’s leading celebrity wish granter with more than 650 wishes granted.

v foundation

Stephanie McMahon, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE and its fans are strong supporters of pediatric cancer research. Stephanie and Paul became passionate about pediatric cancer research when they met WWE fan Connor Michalek. Battling medulloblastoma, a rare tumor that affects the brain and spinal cord, eight-year-old Connor left quite the impression on those he encountered. When Connor lost his battle with medulloblastoma in April 2014, Stephanie and Paul decided to honor him by creating Connor’s Cure, a fund at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.

Since its launch, the partnership has expanded Connor’s Cure outside of Children’s Foundation and supported top research centers and hospitals nationwide. To date, Connor’s Cure has raised more than $4.6 million and assisted more than 500 families around the world.

special olympics

The Special Olympics’ mission remains as vital today as it did when the movement was founded in 1968. Special Olympics strives to create a better world by fostering the acceptance and inclusion of all people. Through the power of sports, people with intellectual disabilities discover new strengths and abilities, skills and success.

WWE Superstars have been longtime supporters of Special Olympics. Currently, Drew McIntyre is a Special Olympics Global Ambassador and Chad Gable is a 2026 USA Games Ambassador for his home state of Minnesota.

WWE Superstars Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Naomi are Boys & Girls Club Hall of Famers. Throughout the year, WWE Superstars regularly visit Boys & Girls Club locations to share their stories, interact with local youth, and provide resources for individual clubs.

national medal

Established by President Abraham Lincoln in 1861, the Medal of Honor is our nation’s highest recognition of valor in combat. Earned through every major conflict in our nation’s history since the Civil War, the Medal of Honor commemorates those who were willing to risk their lives to protect and serve our country and the ideals we hold most dear. The National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation is dedicated to sharing the stories and values of these incredible heroes—and to inspire America to build upon their legacies.

WWE is a proud partner of the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation to spotlight stories of our nation’s bravest heroes.
