This year, Mayor Robert Palmieri and his wife Susan, together with the Gala Committee, have chosen Make-A-Wish Central New York as the recipient of the 2023 Utica Mayor's Benefit Gala.

For over 35 years, Make-A-Wish has been granting life-changing wishes for critically ill children. Currently, there are nearly 180 kids waiting for the hope and joy of their own unique wish. Many of them simply can't wait... Join us at the Mayor's Benefit Gala where all proceeds will support local children with critical illnesses.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available through Wednesday, April 19 and can be purchased where you select your tickets.

Tickets are also available at the door on April 22.
