Des Moines Gala: When Stars Align 

Wishes are Waiting: You can provide hope for families today and tomorrow!

Join us for the 28th Annual Make-A-Wish Iowa Des Moines Gala: When Stars Align. Saturday, May 1, 2021, at the Ron Pearson Center. Guests will enjoy dinner, live and silent auctions plus entertainment featuring area wish kids.

In response to Covid-19, there is limited in-person availability. Sponsorships are on sale now and the remaining tables will be on sale beginning Feb. 1st. No in-person individual tickets will be available. A virtual option will be released in the spring.

COVID-19 Protocol: We will continue to monitor the situation and follow national, state and local guidelines, including those in place by the Ron Pearson Center.

What you can expect:

• Currently, temperature checks and wearing masks when not eating or drinking are required by the Ron Pearson Center.
• To allow for social distancing, we will be limiting the number of attendees to 50% and providing at least 7’ between tables.
• To ensure each guest is aware of who they are sitting by, we will only be offering table sales; individual tickets will not be available
• All guests will be asked to register their phone with Qtego prior to the event to avoid any lines in the pre-function space. Instructions will be sent in advance of the evening.
• Programs and auction information will be available electronically and accessible from your cell phone.

While some things will be different this year, the powerful mission of Make-A-Wish Iowa remains the same. We can’t wait to share the stories of our wish kids with you! Thank you for helping us transform lives, one wish at a time.
