DC This Week is pleased to introduce the "Non-Profit of the Week" series. Each week you'll learn about one DC-based non-profit you can consider supporting.
Only Make Believe is an organization that brings laughter and imagination to children suffering from chronic illnesses and disabilities. Since 1999, this organization has brought interactive theater performed by professional actors to over 35,000 children and families in 52 hospitals in the NYC metro area and 3 hospitals in the D.C. area. With celebrity support from Jude Law, Mike Myers, Sir Ian McKellen, Julia Stiles, Rachel Weisz, Alan Cumming, Kathie Lee Gifford, Chistopher Meloni, Petra Nemcova, and more, Only Make Believe has brought joy and hope to the hearts of families and children facing hard times.
