Join us as we celebrate 40 years of life-changing wishes for Iowa children fighting critical illnesses. For four decades, wishes have unlocked hope, strength, and joy for children and families across our state—and this milestone evening will honor the donors, volunteers, partners, and community members who make every wish possible.

 

This year, the need for wishes in Iowa is at an all-time high. Make-A-Wish Iowa must grant 200 or more wishes and find 270 eligible children who need a life-changing wish as part of their medical treatment journey. Your support helps unlock the next wish waiting to come true.

 

Enjoy an inspiring evening of celebration, impact, and community as we look back on 40 years of wishes and open the door to every wish still waiting.
