Help us celebrate 40 years of granting life-changing wishes across Iowa through the 28th Annual Riverbend Gala: A Sky Full of Wishes. Representing both the thousands of wishes that have already brought hope and joy to Iowa children and the countless wishes yet to come, this year's theme reflects the power of our past and the promise of our future. Together, we can continue creating hope, joy, and strength for children facing critical illnesses, one wish at a time.

 

Today, roughly 250 Iowa children are waiting for their wish, including 15 children right here in the Quad Cities area. Join us as we come together to bring hope, joy, and the life-changing power of a wish to local children and families. We invite you to celebrate with us at the Quad-Cities Waterfront Convention Center on April 17, 2027, at 5:00 p.m.

 

Guests will enjoy dinner, live and silent auctions, plus wish stories that will touch your heart.
