SCOTTSDALE, AZ (September 9, 2026) - Today, Make-A-Wish Arizona announced the theme and co-chairs for its signature annual gala, the 2027 Make-A-Wish Arizona Wish Ball, taking place Saturday, April 3, 2027, at JW Marriott Scottsdale Camelback Inn Resort & Spa.
During the kickoff breakfast, 2027 Wish Ball co-chairs Andrea Robertson and Lisa Moore joined Wish Ball Committee members, Make-A-Wish Arizona board members and event sponsors to unveil this year’s theme, “In Your Wildest Dreams.”
Inspired by the extraordinary imaginations of Wish Kids, the theme will invite guests to experience a world where wildest dreams become possible. Throughout the evening, guests will discover the wildest dreams and wishes to be, to give, to go, to have and to meet, while reflecting on the question, “What would your wildest dream be?”
More than 900 guests are expected to attend the black-tie gala, where they will have the opportunity to meet Wish Kids and families and hear firsthand about the life-changing impact of a wish. The evening will also feature dinner, dancing, live and silent auctions and the signature Fund-A-Wish moment, with proceeds supporting future wishes for Arizona children with critical illnesses.
Wish Ball is Make-A-Wish Arizona’s largest annual fundraising event and has raised millions of dollars to help grant wishes across the state. With the average cost of a wish approximately $10,000, funds raised through Wish Ball help ensure every eligible child has the opportunity to experience the hope, strength and joy of a wish.
In fiscal year 2026, Make-A-Wish Arizona granted more than 400 wishes to children with critical illnesses. With the continued support of donors, sponsors and the Arizona community, the chapter remains committed to reaching every eligible child and making more life-changing wishes possible.
