Wish Heroes Luncheon

You Kept Hope Playing for Local Wish Kids 

Lights! Camera! Wishes!  Thanks to you and the extraordinary generosity of our community, our Grammy-inspired Wish Heroes Luncheon raised a record-breaking $402,000  and counting! 

In our 40th anniversary year, we rolled out the red carpet as guests gathered to celebrate the healing power of wishes, music and this caring community. 

Wish alum Natalie said, “Being someone's hero doesn't always mean saving their life. Sometimes it's sitting beside someone who's scared or bringing dinner to a family in the hospital or volunteering.  And today...it's giving a child a wish.”  

Special thanks to emcee Molly Shen from KOMO 4 News, our generous sponsors, table hosts and heroic supporters who gave big to change lives.  

Together, we're creating a soundtrack of hope for local children and families when they need it most.
