2025 Summer of Wishes

Creating brighter days for wish kids 

Perry's Wish to go to Hawaii

With the sun shining high and hearts full of warmth, we’re officially kicking off this year’s Summer of Wishes! Our goal? To create brighter days for each and every wish kid we serve, and we can’t wait to share their incredible stories with you all summer long!

One of these wish kids is the radiant and adventurous Perry, who recently returned from the most magical wish trip to Hawaii! From snorkeling in crystal-clear waters to swimming with dolphins, every moment was bursting with joy, wonder, and sunshine. 

This summer, we're on a mission to grant 50 life-changing wishes before our kids head back to school, and we can’t do it without YOU! Help us grant these wishes by donating, hosting a fundraiser, or volunteering!
