Boise, ID: The 9th Annual Walk for Wishes Boise will be held on Friday, June 2 at Esther Simplot Park. Registration starts at 5:00 p.m. with the walk kicking off at 6 p.m. sharp. The walk is approximately one mile in length. The Walk for Wishes Boise, presented by Corwin Ford, is an event that celebrates wishes that have been granted in Idaho, while raising funds for future wishes.

Participants can sign up today online as a walk team or an individual. There is no registration fee; though Make-A-Wish® Idaho asks participants to raise $100 or more to help grant wishes for Idaho wish kids. Walkers can sign up to walk and raise funds at http://site.wish.org/wfwboise2023 After the walk, Paul & Cannon Fodder will perform live music, and Gyro Shack, Bochi Bochi and Negranti Creamery will have food trucks available during the event.

“This year, Make-A-Wish Idaho is poised to grant over 130 life-changing wishes, more wishes than we’ve ever granted in a single year. Some of this is due to delays caused by the pandemic, but we’re also granting more wishes because Idaho’s population has grown. Right now, we have over 100 kids waiting on wishes, and public support is more important than ever. We want to keep wait times short, so wish kids can get their wishes when they need them the most,” said Helene Peterson, Make-A-Wish Idaho Director of Development.

Make-A-Wish Idaho would like to raise $80,000 from the event and have already raised nearly $30,000 from early registrants and from the sponsorships of nine local businesses: Corwin Ford, the presenting sponsor, Pioneer Federal Credit Union, Ball Ventures Ahlquist, HUB International, OneTrust Home Loans, ISG Print and Embroidery and Alexander Hoffman Orthodontics.
