You Scored Big for Local Children Facing Critical Illnesses  

A Seattle Kraken-inspired evening put more life-changing wishes on the scoreboard.

Thanks to you and the incredible generosity of our Alaskan community, Happiness Hour in Anchorage raised a record-breaking $197,000 and counting!  

In our 40^th anniversary year, guests came to celebrate and give, ensuring that more wish kids can experience the confidence, excitement and healing that a wish provides.   

As Caleb's dad Reuben shared, wishes give children "joy, confidence and something fun to look forward to" while creating precious time for families to reconnect. 

Special thanks to emcee Ariane Aramburo from Alaska's News Source, our generous sponsors and the supporters who showed up ready to have fun and make a difference.  

Together, we're keeping hope in play for children across Alaska.
