Thanks to you…

Make-A-Wish Alaska and Washington's 
Wish Night  Gala & Auction was a stellar success!

With your generous support, we raised $2.4 million (and counting), giving more local children with critical illnesses the space to dream when they need it most.  

From a galactic intro video to glowing moon orbs adorning tables, inspiration filled the air all night. Guests enjoyed a private concert from wish alum Marc. Manny’s wish to go to the Kennedy Space Center moved everyone to tears and brought them to their feet as he waved and smiled, donning his custom space suit.

Wish alum Nate delivered a powerhouse speech about being part of a team where people lift each other up and lead with generosity, creating a better world together.  And wish alum Makenna sparked laughter and applause as our beloved emcee.

Head to our Facebook album for all the memorable moments, including a special visit from UW’s own Dubs on stage. And special thanks to our Wish Night Chairs, Mike Quinlan and Mike Salvadore, and our Presenting Sponsor, Wolfe Plumbing & Wolfe Fire Protection.
