At our Wish Ball, WWE and Fanatics made an unforgettable moment happen - surprising wish kid Isaiah with the news that his wish to attend WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas is coming true! To celebrate, Isaiah received a special gift from Cody Rhodes himself, marking the start of an epic WWE experience!
We opened our Wish Ball with an unforgettable moment - a wish reveal for Isaiah, who was surprised with the incredible news that, thanks to our friends at WWE and Fanatics, he’s going to WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas this April!

You are the wings beneath our mission - like butterflies emerging in full bloom, you help carry each wish toward a future filled with renewed hope, transformation, and possibility.

At our Wish Ball, we ended the night with an unforgettable surprise for wish kid Aurelia - she found out she’s going to Japan later this summer! To help her prepare for her exciting journey, Aurelia received a special gift basket filled with fun items, including a beautiful kimono. It was a magical moment celebrating her upcoming adventure and the power of a wish!
