Our Mission

Peter's Wish, Inc. awards scholarships to youth who demonstrate a strong service commitment to their communities.  Since 2006, Peter's Wish has awarded $34,500 to 24 high school seniors seeking higher education at a accredited university, college, or trade school.  Because our scholarship requires 30 hours of community service, Peter's Wish awardees have performed over 600 service hours for their local communities.   

​​Inspiring and Empowering Youth to Grow into Greatness 

Our Inspiration

Peter's Wish was inspired by Peter Darryl Colucci.  Peter courageously fought a tough battle with Non-Hodgkins Disease Lymphoma for a year and a half before dying at just 10 years old.  Before he died, he told his father, "I am not afraid of dying, I just WISH I could grow to be a man like you."  ​Our goal is to help youth grow up to live fulfilled and meaningful lives - just like the one Peter wished for.  We believe the values of selfless service and education can lead to greatness in one's life.
