Wish Night 2026
Saturday, April 11, 2026 | Austin Marriott Downtown
Make Wishes Come True!
From the first spark of a wish to the moment it becomes real, joy grows through the compassion of our community. Wish Night honors that journey and the joy made possible because of supporters like you.
Join us for an unforgettable celebration of hope, joy, and strength. The evening is presented by Covert Bee Cave and features powerful stories of lives transformed by a wish.
2026 Sponsorship Opportunities and tickets are now available.
Learn more about how you can transform lives, contact Kimberly Romero, Senior Development Manager, at kromero@cstx.wish.org, (512) 329-9474 x3425.
Elevate your bidding power and make an even greater impact at Wish Night.
The Golden Paddle Raffle gives one lucky winner the chance to bid with a $10,000 credit during the highly anticipated live auction.
For just $200, you can turn a single paddle raise into unforgettable memories for your family while granting life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Only one paddle takes the prize so make it yours.
Can’t make it to Wish Night? Your paddle can still be in the room. Remote and absentee bidders are welcome through a proxy bidder coordinated with the Make-A-Wish Central & South Texas team.
